摘要：This study examined the trends in enrollment numbers and academic quality of first-year Tennessee students on the merit-based portion of the Tennessee Education Lottery Scholarship (TELS) upon HBCU’s and religiously focused institutions in Tennessee from 2005-2014. The researchers hypothesized that the merit-based portion of the TELS was a contributing factor to retaining talented, first-year, undergraduate, Tennessee students at private, accredited, higher education institutions in Tennessee. The average enrollment, average ACT score, and average high school GPA of first-year, undergraduate, Tennessee students at HBCU and religiously focused schools were examined for trends. The data revealed no significant difference in the trend for enrollment of first-year Tennessee students at HBCU private institutes and religiously focused institutes. There was a significant trend of improvement in ACT averages and HSGPA averages at such schools. This is meaningful for institutions in recruitment and retention of high-quality students. Implications and future areas of research are discussed.
