Senior Financial Aid

This year we had a Senior Financial Aid Night in person on September 14, 2023 at 6 PM. Seniors and their parents were invited to attend. Tennessee Student Assistance Corporation (TSAC) Representative Erika Adams presented in the J. Kent Bewley Lecture Hall. Information discussed was include the HOPE Lottery Scholarship, the FAFSA, and the TN Promise program. Every senior was encouraged to attend this event to learn more about 2-year, 4-year, and technical postsecondary opportunities. 
 
A recording of this video can be found on the Senior Financial Aid page of our website.
