Apply for the Dual Enrollment Grant
After you complete the grant application, here is what to expect:
There is no need to fill out a Roane State admissions application. In a few days, you should receive an email to the address that you provided in your grant application. The email will provide instructions on how to enroll and will request copies of your high school transcripts and test scores*, along with other steps to take to complete the application process. You will also need to go to this link to download and sign the Dual Enrollment Participation Form. Applications are not complete until this form is completed with real signatures and returned to one of the contacts listed in the link.
*While test scores have to be submitted and on file before your application is considered complete, your admission is based on the completion of the application process, not the actual test scores. However, your scores are used to determine placement into college-level courses. If scores do not meet the minimum requirements, learning support courses may be required. Please see the section below for more information.
