The Academic Performance Scholarship Program for Tennessee residents awards academic scholarships to entering freshmen and transfer students for the fall semester each year. Students pursuing a second undergraduate degree and currently enrolled students are not eligible. Selection is competitive and awards are made to the students based on academic performance. The APS award amount is $3000 annually ($1500 per semester). Recipients must maintain an overall and semester grade point average of 2.5, pass a minimum of 12 credits per semester, and fulfill a work requirement in order to renew the scholarship for subsequent terms. Award recipients are required to work approximately 5 hours per week for a total of 75 hours per semester. Developmental courses do not count toward the minimum of 12 credits earned or in the semester or overall grade point average required for renewal. APS Scholarship receipient work positions available are located on the APS Jobs List. Availability of awards is contingent on funding levels. Awards for new students are made on a rolling basis. Initial eligibility and renewal requirements may change in the future. New students accepting an APS must register for fall classes or register to attend an orientation program by July 1 or forfeit the scholarship award.
