     The University of Memphis is currently accepting applications for our First Scholars Scholarship which is available to all first-generation incoming freshmen students. At UofM first-generation is any student who has a parent or guardian who has not completed a 4-year degree. This means a parent or guardian could have completed a technical degree, international degree, or associates and the student would still be first-generation. It also does not matter if the student has a sibling who has completed a 4-year degree already. 

    Our First Scholars generally hold higher GPA’s than many other first-generation students and can graduate within a 4-year span. I work closely with these students to ensure their success throughout their 4 years and prepare them for post-graduation life. Each fall semester we accept 20 new scholars into our scholarship program. Please let me know if you have any questions. The deadline for this scholarship is February 1, 2023 and students who are already admitted to the UofM can apply here

FLAGSHIP HIGH SCHOOL

  • FLAGSHIP HIGH SCHOOL

    Congratulations, students! The University of Tennessee, Knoxville has recently designated Overton High School as a Flagship high school. Any student who graduates from our high school and is admitted to UT Knoxville will receive the Flagship Scholarship—an investment in your college education of up to $52,000 over the course of four years. When combined with the HOPE Lottery Scholarship and other institutional aid, Flagship students will not have to pay a penny towards tuition and mandatory fees. In addition, UT Knoxville is also waiving the $50 application fee for Flagship students—so you can apply to UT for free! UT has extended their early action deadline to November 16 for Flagship students as well, so you have more time to complete and submit your application to be considered for competitive scholarships, Honors & Scholars programs, and receive an admissions decision by mid-December. Qualified students must meet UT Knoxville admissions requirements.  For additional information, click on the link below.
