This report presents a localized perspective on Tennessee higher education for the year 2009, including: (1) county demographic and economic data; (2) information on public and private colleges and universities located in the county; and (4) number of county residents participating in the state's primary need-based and merit-based financial aid programs at a public or private institution. The profile concludes by showing the number of students from each county who applied and were eligible for the need-based Tennessee Student Assistance Award (TSAA) but were not awarded due to insufficient program funds.
