To remain eligible for the Tennessee Promise, the FAFSA must be completed by May 15, 2024.

The NCAA Initial-Eligibility Clearinghouse is the organization that determines whether prospective college athletes are eligible to play sports at NCAA Division I or Division II institutions.

In order to be cleared by the NCAA you must meet certain academic requirements: complete 16 core courses, have a minimum GPA of 2.3 (for D1) or 2.2 (for D2) in those core courses, and meet the minimums of the sliding scale in your combination of core course GPA and SAT/ACT test scores.
