For Tennessee Promise, the state created a $361.1 million endowment funded with lottery reserves. The recurring costs of the program will be paid by a combination of interest earnings from that endowment and any excess funds generated each year by the lottery scholarship program.

About 58,000 students, or about 90 percent of Tennessee's senior class, have applied for the first year of Tennessee Promise, exceeding predictions by tens of thousands. The true number of Tennessee Promise participants won't be clear until later this year — many of those students could decide to attend four-year universities or pursue other options.
