Tennessee Tech is waiving application fees for domestic undergraduate students throughout the month of September, making it easier for prospective Golden Eagles to take the next step in their higher education journey.

“Applying to college is an exciting step, and we want to make that process as simple and accessible as possible for students and their families,” said Jacob Cutshall, director of admissions at Tech. “Waiving the application fee throughout September removes one more barrier and gives students a no-risk invitation to explore all that Tennessee Tech has to offer.”

Our students recently traveled to Belize, where they put classroom knowledge into practice while serving communities, learning from local healthcare professionals, and experiencing the power of compassionate care across cultures.

Experiences like these shape confident, compassionate nurses who are prepared to make a difference wherever they're called to serve.

Read their story here!

For nine students in Tennessee Tech University’s Whitson-Hester School of Nursing, a recent study abroad trip to Belize meant far more than sightseeing.
