Terminating Events

(1) A student shall receive the Tennessee Promise Scholarship until reaching a terminating event as outlined in T.C.A. § 49-4-708. (2) A student reaches the terminating event under T.C.A. § 49-4-708 in any semester in which the student completes all academic course requirements of the student’s declared eligible program of study. Failure of the student to complete institutional requirements related to the process of conferring the credential, but unrelated to the completion of the required courses will not allow the student to continue to be eligible for the scholarship in subsequent semesters. (3) Notwithstanding paragraph (2) above, a student may continue to receive the Tennessee Promise Scholarship for a sequential certificate, diploma, or associate degree following completion of a certificate or diploma which directly leads to the certificate, diploma, or associate degree program.
