ETF Common Scholarship Application

This is a group of awards reached through one application. Each award inside it has its own rules.

Award

Many donor scholarships; amounts vary and are subject to change.

Deadline

2027 deadline not yet posted; the 2026 deadline for most scholarships was March 15, 2026 (applications opened December 15, 2025). A few funds use separate windows.

How to apply

Create an ETF scholarship portal account, complete common application and all matched-fund supplemental questions. Upload required attachments; request any fund-required recommendation early, since application is incomplete until received. Separate applications/windows apply to named disability, student-support, law and visual-arts funds.

Who can apply

East Tennessee students. Individual funds have their own residency, school, major, merit and need rules.

Good to know

Need-based funds accept FAFSA Submission Summary or Federal Student Aid Estimator results; inability to file due to citizenship/immigration does not disqualify applicants from many funds. No late/incomplete applications; award payments go directly to school. FAQ still carries a 2025 deadline, while application page lists 2026; neither establishes 2027.
