Scholarship Application Deadline: February 15

DREAM Scholarship Application

Middle Tennessee State University is dedicated to promoting openness, and we value diversity in students and faculty.  To demonstrate that commitment, encourage the enrollment of students from populations underrepresented at MTSU, and to create an atmosphere of respect and shared experiences, scholarships are offered to freshmen to create and educate a diverse student body.

The Diverse Representation and Educational Access at MTSU (DREAM) Scholarship, established in 2007, celebrates and encourages diversity at MTSU. Recipients will be selected for the scholarship based on Tennessee residency, academic requirements, financial need, and contribution to the diversity of the university.

Recipients of the DREAM Scholarship will receive funding equal to full tuition plus $500 per semester, through a combination of federal, state, and University funds; MTSU scholarship funds will be used to supplement the Tennessee Education Lottery Scholarship and certain other types of aid to equal the above amount.  Click here for an explanation of how the DREAM Scholarship amount is determined.  Recipients may receive the scholarship in addition to a Pell Grant, TSAC Grant, and/or private scholarship, provided the total amount received from all sources does not exceed the budgeted Cost of Attendance.

The award will be available for fall and spring semesters only and will be renewable for up to eight semesters, dependent on academic requirements and available funding.
