Scholarships and Parents & Familes Fund Grants

Ayres Hall on Campus

The University of Tennessee Parents Association takes pride in providing numerous benefits to the students of our loyal members. These benefits include exclusive scholarship programs designed to provide the financial resources for your student's successful academic and professional career.

There are several exclusive scholarship programs available, including the Parents Association Academic Scholarship, the Parents Association Service Scholarship, the Parents Association Leadership Scholarship, and the Parents Association International Scholarship.  Each scholarship provides an opportunity for your student to receive funding for his or her unique educational and developmental needs at UT.

A committee comprised of a past scholarship recipient, UT faculty, and UT staff will review each application and return their results to the Parents Association Staff. The Parents Association Staff has no influence on the selection of scholarship recipients.

Parents Association Scholarships are funded directly through contributions to the Parents & Families Fund. For more information on the Parents & Families Fund, please click here.
