Tennessee HB 1983: TN Scholarships and Financial Aid

This Tennessee act, signed in 2016, enables recipients of the STEP UP state scholarship to apply its funds to enrollment in two and four-year postsecondary programs for students with intellectual disability. This expands eligibility for the Tennessee STEP UP scholarship, for students with IDD who complete high school and pursue PSE at any college in the state with an approved comprehensive transition and postsecondary (CPT) programs. As of September 2017, this includes Lipscomb University, Union University, Vanderbilt University, the University of Memphis, and the University of Tennessee.
