NEXT CHAPTER SCHOLAR OF THE YEAR
One student will be selected as the Next Chapter Scholar of the Year based on a holistic review of their admissions application and supplemental materials. The selected scholar will receive a scholarship valued at tuition and mandatory fees for up to four years. The Next Chapter Scholar of the Year award cannot be combined with the Volunteer or Orange & White scholarships.
ADDITIONAL CRITERIA
For both awards, students must matriculate the fall semester immediately following graduation from a US high school and be a US citizen, permanent resident, or domestic international student to be considered.
In order to retain this scholarship, students must maintain a 3.0 cumulative GPA, federal Satisfactory Academic Progress (SAP), and full-time enrollment each semester.
How does this combine with other scholarships?
The Next Chapter award cannot be combined with the Volunteer or Orange & White scholarships, but Next Chapter scholars may qualify for other UT awards, like the UT Pledge, Promise, TN Connect, or Provost Scholarship. When two or more scholarships are combined, your award amounts may be adjusted if your combination exceeds UT’s allowable award maximums.
