The goal of the program is to provide more affordable and accessible options available to high school students seeking higher education. Students that graduate from designated Flagship high schools and are admitted to UTK for fall 2025 will receive a scholarship to cover tuition and mandatory fees in combination with the HOPE scholarship.“Creating opportunities for Tennesseans and providing more pathways to the best public education our state has to offer is at the core of our mission as the state’s flagship, land-grant university,” said Chancellor Donde Plowman. “The expansion of the Flagship Scholarship program reflects our commitment to supporting rural communities and our students.” The Flagship Scholarship is part of the UT Knoxville Tri-Star Scholarship program, a suite of scholarships specifically designed to help Tennesseans achieve an affordable education at the university. “Our Flagship high schools and communities are important to us,” said Associate Vice Provost and Executive Director for Undergraduate Admissions Fabrizio D’Aloisio. “By making a UT education more accessible to Tennesseans, we’re helping develop the next generation of leaders, innovators and changemakers who will drive our state forward.” Students from Flagship high schools are also eligible for UT’s in-state guaranteed admission policy and can apply to UT for free. Information on how to apply is available online. There is no separate application for the Flagship scholarship. Eligible students are automatically considered after completing their admissions application.
