Love it!Education beyond high school is critical to the Tennessee we can be, and while it’s still early in the Tennessee Promise story, the results so far are incredibly encouraging,” Governor Bill Haslam said. “Since the program started, more than 33,000 students have enrolled in college as a result of Tennessee Promise, and of the students who began in fall 2015, 63 percent are still enrolled. Those students have performed a million hours of community service across our state and been mentored by 9,000 adult volunteers. We’ve led the nation in FAFSA filings the past two years, and at a time when the rest of the nation is wondering what to do about student loans, Tennessee has seen a 17 percent decrease in the number of students taking out loans.”
A total of 33,081 students have taken advantage of Tennessee Promise since students began enrolling in 2015. In Fall 2016, the second cohort included 16,790 students who enrolled through the scholarship program, an increase of almost 500 students from the prior class. Among students in the first Tennessee Promise class, who began in Fall 2015, 10,236 students, or about 63 percent of the cohort, re-enrolled in college for a second year.
The growth in enrollment for the second cohort and the retention rate for the first cohort indicate that not only is Tennessee Promise increasing first-time student enrollment in the state, but that those students are staying enrolled at strong rates. Among Tennessee Promise students at Tennessee Colleges of Applied Technology (TCATs), 83 percent returned for a second year. At community colleges, 58 percent of Tennessee Promise students re-enrolled, compared to 42 percent of non-Tennessee Promise students.
Tied to passing classes and community service. Very nice.

I think its cool they extendeded this to adults too. Nice way to spend that lottery money!
We can't have one in Miss because gambling is a sin. Hey they threw dice of Jesus's robe so..... and there was even a book and big screen movie about it. (-:Tied to passing classes and community service. Very nice.
And it shunts lottery money to a specific program, not the amorphous mass of the State general fund.

I'm not big on lotteries generally since it's sort of regressive taxes, and having made many bets with my father in my misguided youth, I think it's for suckers. But for education, even I'd probably buy a two dollar ticket from time to time.
I wouldnt think they would have to worry about this being community colleges and tech schools and such.I forgot who the politician was who said it yesterday, but I agree with him - he opined that colleges who suppress Freedom of Speech or allow it to happen on campus, as we have seen happen lately, should have their federal funding pulled. If they want to be a 'private club' with their own rules, they can do so without federal funding.
Why is it people only want to talk about the beast?Before thinking about "higher education" what about looking at the lower education?
Why is it that people come out worthless out of the system? And seeing the new batch of gender studies majors - that does not change with college. In fact, they come out even dumber than they went in.
Bernie Sanders and Hillary Clinton ran on available college for everyone. Nice to see Republicans embrace Democratic proposals.Tennessee Promise Sees Increased Enrollment, Strong Retention Rates in Year 2 - TN.Gov
