High school seniors can sign up for the Tennessee Promise and fill out their college application as part of Scholarship Saturday on Sept. 20 at Roane State’s Oak Ridge campus.
Computer labs in the new Goff Health Sciences and Technology Building will be open from 10 a.m.-2 p.m., and enrollment counselors will be available to help seniors complete their Tennessee Promise applications and college applications. Pizza will be provided.
The campus is located at 701 Briarcliff Ave. Get directions.
The event is designed to encourage students to enroll in Tennessee Promise, the state’s new program that provides two years of community college or technical school tuition-free for any student graduating from a Tennessee high school. The deadline to apply for the Tennessee Promise is Nov. 1.
“We would love for seniors and their families to come to campus and take advantage of this tremendous opportunity,” said Maria Gonzales, Roane State director of student enrollment and recruitment. “With the Tennessee Promise at Roane State, students can get a great education, tuition-free, that will prepare them for a career or to transfer to a university.”
The class of 2015 will be the first eligible to take advantage of the program, which is part of the Drive to 55 initiative to increase the number of Tennesseans with some form of post-secondary credential.
