The Tennessee Student Assistance Award Program (TSAA) was established to provide non-repayable financial assistance to financially-needy undergraduate students who are enrolled or accepted for enrollment, at least half-time, at a public or an eligible non-public postsecondary institution. Students at four-year or two-year private institutions, four-year and two-year public institutions, career schools, and at the TN College of Applied Technology are eligible. Students must also have a valid Student Aid Index (SAI) of 5000 or less; maintain institutional satisfactory academic progress according to the standards and practices of the institution; not be in default on a loan or owe a refund on any grant previously received at any institution; and have not received a baccalaureate degree. To receive priority consideration, students are strongly encouraged to submit a FAFSA as soon as possible after October 1 each year. Please visit the scholarship's website for more information.
