University of Tennessee System (UT System) President Randy Boyd visited Creek Wood High School, Houston County High School and McEwen High School last week as part of a statewide “Find Your UT” tour, where he spoke with students and educators about the unique opportunities and benefits of higher education within the UT System.
During his visit, Boyd emphasized the UT System’s commitment to providing a pathway for every Tennessee student and showcased the UT System’s five unique campuses, each one equipped to help students succeed at any point in their academic journey.
“There’s a place for every student at the University of Tennessee,” Boyd said. “Whether it’s the flagship campus of UT Knoxville, real-world experiences at UT Chattanooga, the personalized support at UT Southern or the community focus at UT Martin, we have a campus that fits your needs and helps you succeed.”
Matt Matthews, associate vice president for academic affairs at the UT System, shared how easy it is to apply to UT campuses and highlighted the UT Promise scholarship, which ensures free tuition and mandatory fees for qualifying Tennessee residents.
“We’re here to help you find the right UT for your future,” Matthews said. “With the Common App, applying to any UT campus is easier than ever, and UT Promise is our promise to make college affordable for Tennessee students. Plus, many of you may qualify for guaranteed admission, allowing you to skip the line and go straight to the next class of UT students.”
