Tennessee Dual Enrollment Grant

The Tennessee Dual Enrollment Grant (TN DEG), funded by the Tennessee Lottery and administered by the Tennessee Student Assistance Corporation (TSAC), allows high school students to earn college credit while pursuing a high school diploma. Students must be a Tennessee resident for one year prior to enrollment to receive the grant. It offers $601.65 per credit hour for the 1st–5th courses and $300 per credit hour for the 6th–10th, applicable to 100/200-level degree-seeking courses. One application covers all terms, so students must apply each academic year. Below are the term deadlines:

UTM Dual Advantage Scholarship

The UTM Dual Advantage Scholarship (UTM DAS) is funded by UT Martin and works alongside the Tennessee Dual Enrollment Grant (TN DEG). Eligible students can receive up to five scholarships total, with a maximum of three per term. As student success is the goal of the UT Martin, we strongly discourage first-time dual enrollment students from enrolling in more than two courses for their first term.

Eligibility

If the student is eligible for the TN DEG, they are automatically eligible for the UTM DAS, no additional application is required. To be eligible for both the grant and the scholarship, a student must:

*If a student's cumulative college GPA falls below 2.0, they permanently lose eligibility for the TN DEG, UTM DAS, and the UT Martin Dual Enrollment Program.

Fee Waivers

UT System Employees, Tennessee Board of Regents Employees, Tennessee State Employees, and Tennessee (Public) School Employees are eligible for fee waiver discounts. The employee is responsible for obtaining a fee waiver from their employer, completing the form, and submitting it to UT Martin. Fee waivers are term specific and must be submitted before each term. They are applied to the student account before the Tennessee Dual Enrollment Grant and UTM Dual Advantage Scholarship. Forms can be scanned and emailed to the Dual Enrollment Director.

Payments

If the student is eligible for the TN DEG and UTM DAS, parents/students can disregard any billing statement(s) they may receive. The Dual Enrollment Office will email you directly if there is a balance on your account that needs to be paid.

To make a payment login to My UTMartin Portal, locate the “Payments & Refunds” section of your dashboard, and select “Make a Payment.” The Bursar’s Office does offer a payment plan for those students responsible for payment of tuition. Please note that payments over the phone are not accepted and must be paid with a debit/credit card or ACH payments in-person or online. For more information on setting up a payment plan, please visit: http://www.utm.edu/offices-and-services/office-of-bursar/set-up-a-payment-plan.php.
