Many colleges and universities across the state are waiving application fees for students who apply during the month of September, which is Tennessee College Application & Exploration Month.
Families can visit the College for TN website at collegefortn.org to view a full list of fee waiver dates and any codes they may need. The site also offers step-by-step instructional videos to guide students through each college’s application process.
The Tennessee Higher Education Commission (THEC) is also encouraging high school seniors to apply for the Tennessee Promise scholarship this month (September 2025) —a critical step for college-going students in Tennessee.
Applying for TN Promise is simple. Students and families just need to create a TSAC Student Portal account at CollegeforTN.org to get started.
