Tennessee Tech waives undergraduate application fees throughout September
Tennessee Tech University is waiving application fees for domestic undergraduate students throughout the month of September, making it easier for prospective Golden Eagles to take the next step in their higher education journey.
Students who apply for admission to Tech during September will save the standard $25 application fee. The offer is available to prospective freshmen and transfer students.
“Applying to college is an exciting step, and we want to make that process as simple and accessible as possible for students and their families,” said Jacob Cutshall, director of admissions at Tech. “Waiving the application fee throughout September removes one more barrier and gives students a no-risk invitation to explore all that Tennessee Tech has to offer.”
Tech continues to accept applications on a rolling basis for the 2027-28 academic year. Students are encouraged to apply early to put themselves in the best position for scholarships, financial aid, on-campus housing and other opportunities.
As students and parents weigh their higher education options, Tech also continues to make college affordable. Roughly half of Tech students graduate debt-free, thanks in part to the university’s Presidential Scholars program, which offers guaranteed scholarships ranging in value from $3,000 to $10,000 per year to students who meet minimum grade point average and standardized test score requirements. Students must apply for admission by Dec. 15 for Presidential Scholars eligibility and submit qualifying transcripts and test scores by Jan. 15.
Tennessee Tech is Tennessee’s top-rated public university in Money.com’s latest “Best Colleges” rankings and is recognized as a “Best National University” by U.S. News & World Report. The university offers more than 265 programs of study, and Tech graduates leave with the lowest student debt among Tennessee’s public universities.
