TN PROMISE SCHOLARSHIP
Students who qualify for the Tennessee Promise program attend Motlow tuition-free. Complete the Promise application and follow the requirements.

Tennessee Reconnect is an initiative to help more Tennessee adults enter higher education to gain new skills, advance in the workplace, and fulfill lifelong dreams of completing a degree or credential. If you are over 24 years old, don’t have a college degree, and have lived in Tennessee for at least one year, you are likely eligible for the Reconnect scholarship.

DUAL ENROLLMENT GRANTS
Get an early start to college credits with Motlow’s Dual Enrollment or Middle College program.
Motlow has more high school Dual Enrollment students than any community college in Tennessee. Take classes at your high school or at any Motlow campus. High school students can actually graduate with a degree from Motlow State at the same time as they graduate from High School (some even finish Motlow before High School graduation). Dual enrollment students can even get an entire degree free in mechatronics.
MOTLOW SCHOLARSHIPS
Motlow has dozens of scholarships you can apply for. We make it easy with a one-stop application.
In addition to the one-stop application, external scholarships and program-specific scholarships are available. Depending on your program of study, you may have the opportunity to apply for additional funds.
