20K+ plan to use TN Promise at community, tech colleges - Adam Tamburin, the Tennessean

More than 20,000 Tennessee Promise students plan to use the scholarship to attend a community or technical college in the fall. The data, which were pulled from the students' applications for federal financial aid, paint the clearest picture yet of the scholarship program's potential impact during its first year. More than 58,000 high school seniors initially applied for the last-dollar scholarship that covers tuition at Tennessee's community and technical colleges. More than 31,500 of those students have filed the Free Applications for Federal Student Aid and are still eligible for Tennessee Promise. http://www.tennessean.com/story/news/education/2015/05/31/plan-use-tn-promise-community-tech-colleges/28268155/
