<p>If my DD meets the stated criteria for the Volunteer Scholarship, a core GPA range of 3.65 to 4.0 and an ACT range of 32-36, is receipt of the scholarship assured? I can't really tell from the description on the university website. </p>
<p>I do understand that all the Chancellor's Scholarships are very competitive.</p>
<p>It is my understanding that they are competitive.</p>
<p>Thank you. I believe you are correct. I can find references to the Volunteer scholarship being guaranteed on the UTK website, but they are references from the early 2000’s. Looks like the awards have changed over time, both in eligibility requirements, amount of scholarship, and between guaranteed/competitive.</p>
<p>Just trying to put together the pieces of the college financial puzzle. At least we should be able to count on the $4,000 Hope and $1,000 Merit from the state lottery. It makes a nice dent in tuition/fees. Additional awards may make living on campus possible, rather than commuting.</p>
