TN Promise Information
Tennessee Promise is both a scholarship and mentoring program focused on increasing the number of students who attend a postsecondary institution in our state. It provides students a last-dollar scholarship, meaning the scholarship may cover the cost of tuition and mandatory fees not covered by the federal Pell Grant, the HOPE Scholarship, or the Tennessee Student Assistance Award at any of the state's 13 community colleges or 27 colleges of applied technology. Students may also use the scholarship at other eligible institution offering an associate degree program, but at these institutions, the award would be capped at the average cost of tuition and mandatory fees at the community colleges.
