TENNESSEE TECH WAIVES APPLICATION FEES FOR UNDERGRADUATES THROUGHOUT SEPTEMBER

Tennessee Tech University is helping prospective students take the next step in their education by waiving its standard $25 application fee for all domestic undergraduate applicants throughout the month of September.
The fee waiver applies to both incoming freshmen and transfer students looking to join the Golden Eagles for the 2027-28 academic year. University officials emphasize that the initiative aims to remove financial barriers and simplify the college application process for families.
  • Rolling Admissions: Tech continues to accept applications on a rolling basis, though early application is encouraged to secure housing, financial aid, and scholarship opportunities.
  • Affordability and Debt: Roughly half of Tennessee Tech graduates leave debt-free, bolstered by programs like the Presidential Scholars initiative, which provides guaranteed annual scholarships ranging from $3,000 to $10,000.
  • Key Deadlines: Students must submit their admission application by December 15 to qualify for Presidential Scholars eligibility, with qualifying transcripts and test scores due by January 15.
Recognized as Tennessee’s top-rated public university by Money.com and a “Best National University” by U.S. News & World Report, Tech offers more than 265 fields of study while maintaining the lowest student debt among the state’s public universities.
Prospective students can submit applications online at www.tntech.edu/apply or schedule a personalized campus tour at www.tntech.edu/visit.
