2. TSU Foundation Scholarships Are Open

If you have been reading your TSU email this summer, you may have seen a recent email with the Subject line, “Foundation Scholarships Available,” and the message proclaiming, “Apply Now.”

The Tennessee State University Foundation Scholarships are open, and only TSU students (and in some cases, though soon to be) can apply for Foundation scholarships.

https://tnstate.academicworks.com/opportunities

For an overview of the different TSU scholarships, click the link above.

Once you have reviewed some of the scholarship opportunities, you can use your TSU username and password to complete the General

Application: https://tnstate.academicworks.com/users/sign_in

You won’t finish the General Application in one sitting, so save as you go along and you can come back to finish later.

Also, once you have completed the General Application, you will get notice within the database of scholarships you might be qualified for, but the system will need more information from you.

For example, the $5,000 Amos-Leon’ and Brenda Wills Otis Scholarship will have supplemental requirements, such as

1. Please upload your current resume
2. Are you a graduate of LEAD Academy in Nashville TN?
3. Did you attach a letter of recommendation from a LEAD Academy alumni, faculty or administrator?

There are several more scholarships available, so apply!

Qualifying for a TSU Foundation scholarship does not guarantee you will receive the scholarship.
