The Dependent Children Scholarship Program provides aid for Tennessee residents who are dependent children of a Tennessee law enforcement officer, fireman, or an emergency medical service technician who has been killed or totally and permanently disabled while performing duties within the scope of such employment. The parent must be a Tennessee resident and have been on duty when the incident occurred. The scholarship is awarded to full-time undergraduate students attending eligible Tennessee institutions.
Awards are made in equal installments each term throughout the academic year.

The recipient must be enrolled full-time and maintain satisfactory progress to remain eligible. The awards are subject to funding.
To be eligible, the applicant must:
