Help us spread the word to TN students and families! An extra two weeks to complete the FAFSA!

DEADLINE EXTENDED: Tennessee Promise Application Deadline Extended to May 31 Due to Extraordinary FAFSA Issues The Tennessee Higher Education Commission (THEC) announced today the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) deadline for the Tennessee Promise scholarship

Tennessee Promise's 10-year journey is a testament to the transformative power of education. We're proud to have been part of this incredible initiative that has made college more accessible and achievable for so many students.

Our partners IES Research CSHPE visited our team in Tennessee this week! THEC was recently awarded an #IESfunded #NCER award to research college access, degree completion, and employment outcomes in Tennessee. Looking forward to groundbreaking discoveries and collaboration!

Congratulations to the Tennessee Volunteers on becoming National Champions!

Tennessee's college-going rate for the class of 2023 rose to 56.7%, representing the largest year-over-year increase since the implementation of the tuition-free Tennessee Promise scholarship in 2015! Check out more of THEC's report on college-going here: tn.gov/thec/research/…

At today’s Summer Commission Meeting, Taylor Odle with UW–Madison, presented on his research of THEC’s Advise TN college access program. Research shows that Advise TN schools have a significant increase in college-going over schools without any college intervention efforts.

Ecstatic to share that Tennessee has received its fourth straight statewide GEAR UP grant, continuing a 20-year ability to support thousands and thousands of students in underserved areas. Way to go, team!

Our heartfelt prayers are with everyone affected by the devastating floods in Tennessee. We stand together as a community during this difficult time. Please stay safe and look out for one another.

Given the extreme challenges facing our community, ETSU will suspend both online and in-person classes on Monday, September 30, 2024. All other campus services and facilities including the CPA, library, and dining locations, will operate as usual.
