Application Deadline and Details: HPSS Foundation Scholarship applications will reopen starting in January 2025. Check back in November of 2024 for updates.

During the application process, you will be asked to submit a copy of your entire (all semesters and credits earned from TSU and all other institutions) unofficial transcript. A step-by-step tutorial on completing this process has been provided here. Please have this document ready for upload as a .pdf file before starting the application. You will also be asked to submit a 1-page Cover Letter explaining why the scholarship committee should select you as a recipient. Please have this letter constructed and ready to upload as a .doc, .docx, or .pdf file before starting the application. Failure to submit files in requested file types will make an application ineligible for review.

A .pdf copy of your unofficial transcripts can be obtained in 2 ways. You can request a digital copy for free from the university, https://www.tnstate.edu/records/transcripts.aspx. Or you can obtain them on your own by logging into myTSU, navigating to student records, and selecting academic transcript. Once there right-click on the page and select the print option. In the print setup menu navigate to destination. Instead of sending the job to a printer, select save as pdf or print to pdf. This will allow you to convert your unofficial transcript into a saveable .pdf file. Save that file somewhere on your device and use this file to upload to your scholarship application.
