The Middle Tennessee State University Centennial Scholars
For nearly 100 years, Middle Tennessee State University has provided a high quality, accessible education to the people of Tennessee and the region. From humble beginnings as “Middle Tennessee Normal School,” responsible for the education of our state’s elementary and high school teachers, the University has grown and prospered, diversifying both in its academic offerings and in its educational and service mission. Today Middle Tennessee State University (MTSU) stands as the largest undergraduate institution in Tennessee, the institution of choice for many of our state’s top scholars.
If MTSU is to continue to successfully attract the “best and brightest” it must offer competitive financial aid packages to attract and support these exceptional scholars. The establishment of the MTSU Centennial Scholars, along with the existing Buchanan and Presidential Scholars programs, will provide MTSU with one of the most competitive, highly desired scholarship programs in the region.
