Received the following email from Tennessee today:
The scholarship committee met this week and the department chair offered financial awards to selected applicants. Keep in mind this process takes time, as some applicants may decide to “pass” on an offer at which point the offer would be extended to another deserving applicant. In addition, some applicants are eligible for Academic Common Market which is a program that enables out-of-state students to receive reduced tuition if the program of study isn't offered in their home state. In the past, students from states such as South Carolina, Georgia, and Vermont (to name a few) have taken advantage of this program. See the link below for details.
I hope this is helpful and have a great day.
