TN Promise Seniors

You should be familiar with the contents of your tnAchieves  Class of 2019 student handbook, including the student checklist! Please keep in mind the upcoming requirements and deadlines:

• February 1, 2019 is the 2019-2020 FAFSA completion deadline for TN Promise eligibility! If you have filed your 2019-2020 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 March 12, 2019 at 5:00. 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.

• Apply to college! Many admissions applications can be found on the college website. If you have not yet applied to college, you are encouraged to do so now.
• Get a head start on completing your community service! Volunteer now to satisfy your first TN Promise community service deadline requirement.
