Tennessee Student Assistance Award (TSAA)

This state-funded grant program provides non-repayable financial assistance to undergraduate students living in Tennessee who demonstrate financial need. Recipients must be enrolled at least half-time at an eligible public or non-public postsecondary institution within the state. Because funding for this program is limited, students are encouraged to submit their federal student aid applications as early as possible. Award amounts are adjusted based on the student's actual enrollment status, and recipients must maintain satisfactory academic progress as defined by their institution. Eligible applicants must not have previously earned a baccalaureate degree or be in default on any educational loans.
