Program overview

What Middle Tennessee State University says about their program:

Insurance. The reader may be well acquainted with this subject if he or she has experienced the pangs and the panic of redesigning the front bumper of dad's car. Insurance is one of those things we purchase and hope we never have to use. Most of us seldom pull the policy out of the file, but we're glad it's there … or somewhere. To the average consumer, purchasing insurance is gaining peace of mind and financial security against the possibility of a catastrophic event. A student who studies insurance at MTSU will interact with industry professionals, have the opportunity to join an award-winning honorary insurance fraternity, and earn scholarships and internships.

Scholarships at Middle Tennessee State University

  • International Merit Scholarship

    Official page

    Middle Tennessee State University awards International Merit Scholarships worth $6,000, $12,000, or $16,000 per academic year, applied toward out-of-state undergraduate tuition costs. The award is open specifically to international students on F-1 visas: any first-year or transfer applicant admitted to MTSU on an F-1 visa is automatically considered, with no separate application required. Awards are made on a first-come, first-served basis until the roughly $2,000,000 annual fund is exhausted, and notification is included in the admission letter. Once awarded, the scholarship is renewable annually for full-time enrollment (excluding summer terms) provided the student maintains a minimum 3.0 cumulative GPA. Because eligibility is explicitly tied to F-1 international student status rather than US citizenship or residency, this award is squarely aimed at international undergraduates.

All scholarship information on Studee is provided for guidance only. Always check the university's official scholarship page for the latest information on eligibility, award amounts, deadlines, and application requirements.
