Application Deadline and Details: Application acceptance begins on April 1st and will continue until Friday, May 2nd. Applications must be completed along with the upload of all required supporting documents by 11:59 pm on May 2nd. Any applications submitted after this date will not be reviewed for eligibility. Please thoroughly read through the instructions below before you begin your application.

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.
