The TSU Meharry pathway may offer qualified Black male high school seniors an accelerated route toward medical or dental education, with potential full-ride scholarship support.

Community announcement based on information supplied for sharing. Candidates must confirm all current terms directly with the listed program contacts.

What Is the TSU Meharry Pathway?

The information supplied to Urban Missiology describes an accelerated MD/DDS opportunity involving Tennessee State University and Meharry Medical College. The stated pathway is designed to lead to an MD or DDS in seven years. Because program cycles, admissions procedures and scholarship funding can change, interested students should treat this announcement as an invitation to request current information rather than as a guarantee of admission or financial aid.

Students and families may also be interested in the growing momentum at HBCUs and the lifelong influence of an HBCU education.

Eligibility for Black Male High School Seniors

The flyer identifies Black male high school seniors as the intended candidates. It lists a 3.5 grade-point average and a score of 28 on the ACT as requirements. Students should contact the program representatives before relying on those figures, because the supplied material does not identify a current application cycle, deadline or cohort start date.

Medical and Dental Education Options

The stated outcome is completion of either an MD or DDS pathway in seven years. The flyer describes “full-ride scholarship potential.” That language means scholarship support may be available; it does not promise that every eligible or admitted student will receive a full scholarship. Candidates should request written confirmation of current tuition, scholarship, admissions and continuation requirements.

How and When to Apply

The supplied announcement asks families, educators, counselors, churches, community organizations and mentors to identify qualified students and send candidate information as soon as possible. It does not include an online application link or a verified deadline.
