The Rasmussen Scholarship Award Program has been established for students who require financial assistance to participate in the Institute's courses.

Founded by Wallace N. Rasmussen, a businessman and philanthropist who has made a lifetime commitment to helping others achieve the education he never had, the funds are aimed at supporting and raising awareness of culture, foreign language and English as a second language education in Tennessee. 

Scholarship Application Deadlines are generally one week prior to the standard registration deadlines.
