Meanwhile, the Regional Scholars Program — unveiled during
the 2015 Atlanta True Blue Tour stop — allows select non-Tennessee resident
students who live within approximately 250 miles of MTSU and meet specific
academic requirements to attend MTSU at a greatly reduced rate and qualify for
the Freshman Academic Merit Scholarships.
Qualifying students receive a reduced tuition rate equal to
approximately 48 percent off the standard out-of-state rate. Students
participating in the Academic Common Market program may receive even lower
rates.

always looks forward to these visits with outstanding prospective students and
their families,” McPhee said. “It’s a great opportunity to share the
exceptional educational experience MTSU offers. We welcome our alumni and
friends from across the state and region to join us and tell others about
MTSU.”
Preview days will be held Saturday, Nov. 5, and Saturday,
March 18, 2017. For students who meet the criteria and complete their
application for admissions, Dec. 1 is the freshman scholarship deadline.
