TN Promise Mandatory Team Meeting Update

 

Good morning,

Out of an abundance of caution, tnAchieves is canceling the remainder of its mandatory TN Promise meetings, including the meeting scheduled for your students.  Because the window of opportunity to meet with high school seniors is small, tnAchieves will not reschedule the meetings. 

tnAchieves is communicating this change to students and parents/guardians this morning.  Students and parents/guardians have been sent a MANDATORY webinar.  It is mandatory for the student to log individually into their tnAchieves account and watch the webinar in its entirety to retain TN Promise eligibility.  The deadline to watch the short webinar is April 3, 2020 at 11:59 PM CT.  Failure to watch the webinar by the deadline will result in loss of TN Promise eligibility.  In true tnAchieves fashion, we will communicate this deadline multiple times over various platforms over the coming weeks.

We are also strongly encouraging students who hear from their mentors to be both kind and responsive to communication.  

We are grateful for your flexibility as we attempt to retain the integrity of our program while also being mindful of healthy communities.

TN Promise Seniors

  • Apply for the TN Promise Scholarship Program by November 1, 2019.
  • February 1, 2020 is the 2020-2021 FAFSA completion deadline for TN Promise eligibility! If you have filed your 2020-2021 FAFSA, please save your confirmation email. If you have not yet  filed your FAFSA, you must do so as soon as possible!
  • Attend your mandatory spring meeting on April 1, 2020 at 5:30. Student attendance is required at this meeting for TN Promise eligibility.

  •  Parents are encouraged to attend but cannot attend for the student.If a student has an excusable absence (see policy #2 on pg. 41 of the student handbook), the student must follow the excuse form protocol highlighted on page 8 of the student handbook and complete a meeting excuse form. tnAchieves must receive a completed meeting excuse form any time prior to the meeting or within 72 hours of the conclusion of the student’s assigned team meeting in order for the excuse to be considered. A student’s failure to attend the mandatory meeting will result in the loss of the student’s TN Promise scholarship. If a student is approved to miss their assigned meeting, the student will be required to attend another institution’s meeting to satisfy the mandatory meeting requirement. A full list of mandatory meetings can be found here.
