How much will the Dual Enrollment Grant pay a Memphis high schooler in 2026-27?
For 2026-27 the grant is worth as much as $620.55 per class for a student's opening five college classes, and as much as $100 per credit hour for classes six through ten; TSAC still labels those figures tentative.
A single TSAC form handles the whole 2026-27 college year, fall through summer, and it is due June 30, 2027.
Where do Memphis-area private school students take dual-enrollment classes?
Juniors and seniors can use the grant at eligible Tennessee colleges, such as Southwest Tennessee Community College and the University of Memphis, and any 9th-12th grader can use it at a Tennessee College of Applied Technology. Grant-funded courses require a cumulative 2.0 GPA to keep going.
Ask your school which college partnerships it already runs, because course access depends on those agreements.
