Notes:

Semester hours attempted under the Dual Enrollment Grant program grant shall not count toward the total semester hours attempted at postsecondary institutions for purposes of Tennessee HOPE Scholarship eligibility. Dual enrollment courses attempted while in high school will not reduce the student’s HOPE Scholarship award amount in college.

Students enrolled at 2-year and 4-year eligible postsecondary institutions, the per credit hour award amounts for the first five (5) dual enrollment semester hour courses is the average tuition estimated annually by the Tennessee Board of Regents at community colleges, plus an additional dual enrollment access fee of five (5%) of the average tuition.

For a student’s sixth (6th) through tenth (10th) dual enrollment semester hour courses, TSAC will determine the annual award per semester credit hour.

​

You must create an account on the TSAC portal (click here).  Keep this information handy as it is the same place you will sign up for TN Promise as a senior. Also, you must apply every semester you take dual enrollment classes.
