JHJ Scholars Program

Jesse H. Jones School of Business Scholars Program provides scholarships and financial assistance to TSU business students who demonstrate exemplary academic performance behavior. Scholarships are also extended to entering freshmen and new transfer students based on strength of academic background. The majority of scholarships are awarded for an entire academic year; however, some are issued for one semester.

A qualified team of faculty, staff, and executives review each scholarship application. Each applicant's information is compared to the objectives of the issuing scholarship and the best fit is awarded.

The School of Business Scholarships issues the bulk of scholarships within the School. Scholarships are awarded in categories of bronze, silver, and gold. Eligibility for these scholarships that are issued to first-time freshmen and transfer students, require students to meet GPA, ACT and/or SAT standards, which are displayed in the chart below..
