Financial Aid Websites for College Bound Students

ACADEMIC COMMON MARKET – Uncommon Opportunities. Real Savings
Learn how you can pursue a degree not available in Tennessee – yet pay in-state rates.  As college plans are being worked on and finalized, many are considering out-of-state institutions but find costs prohibited.  The Southern Regional Educational Board (SREB) has a program that may help students pursue degrees in selected out-of-state programs at in-state tuition rates at over 150 colleges and universities across the South.  Participating in the Academic Common Market is easy and free, requiring only that the student be certified as a legal resident of one of the 16 member states of the SREB and be admitted to an eligible program.  For more details and to review a complete list of programs available, visit the ACM web site.
