Tennessee Hope Scholarship for Graduate Students

Lipscomb believes in the value of education we offer and strives to ensure costs are not a barrier for students or their families.

Great news! The HOPE scholarship has extended the award to five years, allowing students to start their graduate education using these funds. If you earn your bachelor’s in four years, you may be eligible to use the fifth year of the scholarship to begin a master’s program.

We’re hopeful the new parameters for this scholarship allow you to continue furthering your education with even less financial burden.

About the TN HOPE Scholarship

This scholarship is a lottery system scholarship typically awarded to incoming freshman, Tennessee residents, enrolled at an eligible postsecondary institution. To receive the award, students must have been a Tennessee resident for at least one year prior to September 1. Visit the TN HOPE Scholarship website for details.

Tennessee residents who received the HOPE Scholarship at their previous school must notify TSAC to transfer the HOPE scholarship to Lipscomb. In order to maintain the HOPE scholarship, you must be continuously enrolled in school. 

A FAFSA must also be submitted to qualify for this award.

If you did not list Lipscomb University as the first school on your FAFSA for the current award year, you will need to update through your TSAC Student Portal.
