High School Counselors

Welcome to the High School Counselor Information page.

We understand that high school counselors play very important role in the college selection process. Because of that, we want to make sure all the necessary resources needed to make that process simple, are easy for you to find.

This page is dedicated to helping high school counselors navigate through the admission process. At ETSU our Admissions Counselors are available to help guide you and your students through the various steps of applying, scholarships, financial aid, housing, and many other factors that turn a student from a prospect to an enrolled Buccaneer!

Important Dates/Deadlines

We recommend students apply early. We are on a rolling admissions process; therefore there is not an application deadline for first-time freshman. However, students should be aware of ETSU's various scholarship deadlines, which may require applying much earlier. December 15th is the first Academic Performance Scholarship deadline.

Application for Admissions

Most students apply using our online application. To start that process, students must create an account.

Scholarship Information

ETSU offers a variety of merit-based institutional scholarships. Applying for these has never been easier for students. For complete information regarding ETSU scholarships please visit the ETSU Scholarship Office website.
