Beginning in 2004, Lottery-funded scholarships became available to Tennessee students attending public or private colleges or universities across the state. The criteria are straightforward:

Graduating high-school seniors must have a 3.0 grade point average or score a 21 on the ACT in order to receive up to $4,000 in scholarship funds per academic year. Additional support is available for high-school students with outstanding academic credentials. Once in college, students must maintain a B average.

In addition to scholarships, lottery-funded grants are available to students attending technical schools.

All scholarships and grants are administered by the Tennessee Student Assistance Corporation, using funds deposited into an education account by the Tennessee Education Lottery Corporation.
