Tenn-K Scholarships Provide Opportunity to Thrive
A $10,000 scholarship could help you turn the page on 2020's challenges and thrive in 2021.
2020 brought many challenges for everyone. With brick-and-mortar universities’ adapting to online-only learning and an increased financial burden for many adults, the barrier for adults looking to return to school and pursue a degree has never been higher.Â
As a leader in online learning for over two decades, ºÚÁÏ´«ËÍÃÅ Tennessee hasn’t skipped a beat with the challenges that 2020 brought. ºÚÁÏ´«ËÍÃÅ has continued to find ways to support and provide resources to help students continue their degree program. ºÚÁÏ´«ËÍÃÅ students pay half the tuition and end up with half the debt of the national average, with 42% of undergraduate alumni completing their degrees without taking out student loans.
Single mom Victoria Abbott saw the support ºÚÁÏ´«ËÍÃÅ Tennessee provided for students and decided to take the leap and pursue a master’s degree in curriculum and instruction from ºÚÁÏ´«ËÍÃÅ Tennessee to become an instructional supervisor in the Jackson–Madison County School System.
The fifth-grade math teacher applied for the 2020 Tenn-K Scholarship in hopes of starting a flexible master’s program without breaking the bank. Upon receiving the scholarship, Abbott continued to teach her students full time while working through her degree program.
The financial burden of earning a degree can be monumental for adults going back to school, and our annual Tenn-K Scholarship covers nearly 70% of a recipient’s tuition costs. Since launching in 2013, ºÚÁÏ´«ËÍÃÅ Tennessee has awarded more than $3 million in scholarships to Tennesseans.
ºÚÁÏ´«ËÍÃÅ Tennessee’s mission from the start has been to provide working Tennesseans with better access to quality, affordable education options that meet them where they are. ºÚÁÏ´«ËÍÃÅ Tennessee is a 100% online, accredited university for working adults, offering competency-based degree programs that measure skills and learning rather than time.
