55 campaign, which aims to increase the percentage of Tennesseans with college degrees or
certifications to 55 percent by the year 2025. Through Tennessee Promise, graduating high school
seniors are eligible to earn an associate degree or certificate free of tuition and fees. Tennessee
Promise is a last-dollar scholarship—that is, it covers mandatory tuition and fees after Pell (federal)
and other state assistance (except for loans and work-study) has been applied. It does not cover
books, lab fees, TN eCampus fees and/or standard cost of attendance fees, such as travel and gas
expenses. Eligibility criteria and deadlines apply. For more information, please call 423.354.5337 or
