Tuition & Aid

Bethel’s Dual Enrollment program is tuition-free for eligible Tennessee students. 

Bethel’s Dual Enrollment tuition is fully covered by the Tennessee Dual Enrollment Grant for the first set of five courses (15 credit hours). For the second set of five courses, the Grant only covers $100 per credit hour. For those courses, Bethel matches the Grant with a scholarship making the second set of five courses (15 credit hours) tuition-free.

That means students can earn up to 30 college credit hours — the equivalent of a full year of college — without paying tuition, saving families thousands of dollars while getting a head start on college.
