College and Department-Level Scholarships

The College of Business and Technology at East Tennessee State University provides scholarships to current and future ETSU students who meet this criteria:

  • An undergraduate or graduate student who is majoring in a program within the College of Business and Technology (CBAT).

  • A student who is full-time (i.e., taking 12 hours or more per semester) during the semesters that the scholarship is received.

Students receiving full scholarships through the University Honors or Roan Scholars programs are not eligible to receive additional CBAT scholarships.

The funds for these scholarships are provided by businesses, alumni, and other supporters of the College of Business and Technology, and selection for the scholarships is based on factors such as grade point average (in high school and/or college), ACT/SAT scores (for incoming freshman), hometown location, work experience and/or career objectives, and participation in extra-curricular activities.

The online application is only accessible January 2 – March 1 of each year.
