Program Description

The Ayers Foundation Trust and tnAchieves provide college coaching services to Tennessee Promise students with a focus on increasing the share of students who persist and complete a higher education credential. Coaches provide encouragement, connect students with critical resources, and proactively ensure that students are taking the correct steps toward graduation. Both organizations also provide completion grants to Pell-eligible Tennessee Promise students to ensure unexpected financial burdens are not barriers on their path to college graduation.
