Examining the Administrative Burden of the Tennessee Education Lottery Scholarship Program

Abstract

Campus staff members often suggest that the management of the lottery scholarship is burdensome, but there is little information, beyond anecdotes that support these statements. This report is a result of an investigation by the Tennessee Independent Colleges and Universities Association (TICUA) to determine the burden of the lottery scholarship program on independent colleges and universities. The conclusion is that there are certain areas where the burden on college officials can be lessened through both administrative changes and changes to the statute itself.
