Both programs bring selected high school students from across the state to UT Martin to take college courses and participate in a variety of activities. Interested students must complete an application process and receive an invitation to attend. The Tennessee Governor’s School for the Agricultural Sciences has 35 participants, and the Tennessee Governor’s School for the Humanities anticipates 54 to attend.
