Scholarship Information
For several years, the Office of Intercultural Affairs, under the leadership of Robert Owens, Senior Executive for Access, Belonging, and Community Outreach, and Marc Burnett, Former Vice President for Student Affairs, has been undertaking an effort to raise funds for scholarship support for students from under-represented groups at the University for the Tennessee Tech Ethnic Diversity Scholarship and to establish scholarships to increase African American enrollment at Tennessee Tech University. Thanks to the generosity of many university alumni and friends, sufficient funds have been raised to establish this quasi-endowment for the Tennessee Tech African American Scholarship Endowment. Consistent with a major aim of the University, these scholarship endowments are an effort to enhance the overall diversity of the student population.
