Mission Statement
The mission of the Scholarship Office is to be a resource for prospective and current undergraduate students seeking scholarship funding. The primary task of the Scholarship Office is to administer university-wide merit-based scholarships and to exercise good stewardship of those funds. In addition, we serve as a Clearinghouse for scholarships awarded by academic departments and outside agencies. Our goal is to support the University's mission of recruiting the most qualified students and continually improve service to students by supporting long-range enrollment and campus planning. The goal of such activities helps to enrich and diversify the academic environment of the University of Tennessee at Chattanooga.
