Mocs Scholarship

Who can apply

• First-time college student entering UTC in fall with at least a 3.2 high school GPA and a 22 ACT Super Score or 1100 SAT.
• Complete the UTC admission checklist and submit every individual test score to UTC Admissions by December 1, 2026; UTC can create a Super Score only from scores reported to the university.
• Submit the online scholarship application by February 1, 2027; both the admission and scholarship applications are required.
• Maintain full-time enrollment each fall and spring, normally at least 12 undergraduate credits, and remain continuously enrolled at UTC.
• Renewal reviews require a 3.000 overall cumulative GPA and 30 overall passed hours at the first review, 60 at the second and 90 at the third; summer make-up and appeal rules may apply.
• Up to eight semesters are available, excluding summer. Current recipients who complete a UTC bachelor’s degree may use remaining semesters toward a UTC graduate degree only with immediate, continuous enrollment under the program’s terms.
• Meeting the minimum criteria does not guarantee an award; funds are limited and transferring to another school forfeits future semesters.
