The Tennessee Promise
“Tennessee Promise is a last-dollar scholarship, meaning it will cover costs of tuition and mandatory fees not met from Pell, HOPE, or TSAA. As part of the program, students will be paired with a partnering organization and provided with a mentor who will support them during the college application process.”

Can States Afford What Tennessee is Doing?
"...a federal Pell grant, which averages $3,300, to help pay for the average $3,800-per-year (TN) tuition. The state pays the difference: $500 on average. Nationally, in 16 states, the average Pell grant pays for the typical student’s entire community college tuition.”
- U.S. Senator (R-TN) Lamar Alexander
