Student Success

Student Success


The Division of Student Success at UT works to engage each scholar’s experience by supporting their unique strengths and goals. We collaborate with UT faculty and staff to help each scholar maximize their individual strengths and understand how their strengths contribute to their academic dreams, career paths, and personal well-being. Other funds include:

UT Knoxville Veterans Success Center Support Fund 

Your support of the Veterans Success Center directly impacts the nearly 700 former military service members who are making the often difficult transition from soldier to student. Your gift assists with programming designed to help student veterans become more connected to our campus while providing access to the tools they need to thrive academically, socially, and financially. 

UT Success Academy Fund 

UT Success Academy (UTSA), originally designed to support Black and Hispanic men in their transition to college, enhances the undergraduate experience by creating access and engagement opportunities for student scholars. Through an innovative four-year cohort experience, UTSA empowers students to discover, connect, and lead through their strengths. Your donation directly contributes to this comprehensive experience, providing academic, financial, and personal support. With customized success plans, guaranteed scholarships, global experiences, and peer mentoring, UTSA is equipping these scholars to thrive both academically and professionally. 

Vol Edge Program Fund 

Support the Vol Edge at the University of Tennessee and help ensure that every student, regardless of background or financial circumstance, has access to transformative career-building experiences. Your donation will directly fund Vol Edge Transformational Grants, enabling students to participate in high-impact opportunities like internships, study abroad, and undergraduate research—experiences that prepare them to thrive in a competitive job market.  

Honors Program Enrichment Fund 

University Honors seeks to provide a challenging, yet supportive, environment where each honors student co-creates, along with faculty and staff, innovative experiences that prepare them to meet the challenges of today and tomorrow. A gift to University Honors allows you to have a significant impact on the individual lives of students. Financial commitments provide scholarships and experiential education opportunities for our students to maximize their potential.
