High School Seniors may apply for the Tennessee Promise scholarship, which will provide two years of tuition-free attendance at a community or technical college in Tennessee.
Tennessee Promise is a last dollar scholarship program available to Tennessee high school graduates which can provide free tuition for up to two years at a community or technical college. This last dollar scholarship program will cover tuition and mandatory fees not covered by the Pell grant, the Tennessee Education Lottery Scholarship (TELS), or the Tennessee Student Assistance Award (TSAA). A key component to the Tennessee Promise Scholarship program is the mentoring provided for each student to help them transition from high school to college. Three organizations serve as local partners and administer the mentorship component of the program and they include: The Ayers Foundation, REDI and tnAchieves.
