TENNESSEE DUAL ENROLLMENT GRANT

Policies and Procedures

TENNESSEE TECHNOLOGY CENTERS

 

Overview of Program

The Tennessee Dual Enrollment Grant program is defined as a grant for study at an eligible postsecondary institution that is funded from net proceeds of the state lottery and awarded to students who are attending high school and who are also enrolled in college courses at eligible postsecondary institutions for which they will receive college credit.

 The Tennessee Dual Enrollment Grant program is funded by the Tennessee Lottery and administered by the Tennessee Student Assistance Corporation. It is designed to provide financial assistance to qualified high school students in pursuit of postsecondary study at an eligible Tennessee public or private institution while receiving dual high school and college credit from successfully completed courses. This program provides opportunities for these students to begin working toward a college degree, while still pursuing a high school diploma, and encourages post-secondary education and the acceleration of postsecondary attainment. The term “dual enrollment” applies to these enrollments regardless of course delivery location or course delivery method (this includes RODP classes).
