Tennessee Promise
If you are currently a high school student, the Tennessee Promise program may be available to help you pay for The QuILTSS Workforce Development program at one of our participating institutions.
Tennessee Promise is both a scholarship and mentoring program focused on increasing the number of students that attend college in our state. It provides students a last-dollar scholarship, meaning the scholarship will cover the cost of tuition and mandatory fees not covered by the Pell grant, the HOPE scholarship, or the Tennessee Student Assistance Award. Students may use the scholarship at any of the state’s 13 community colleges, 27 colleges of applied technology, or other eligible institution offering an associate degree program.
While removing the financial burden is key, a critical component of Tennessee Promise is the individual guidance each participant will receive from a mentor who will assist the student as he or she navigates the college admission process. This is accomplished primarily via mandatory meetings that students must attend in order to remain eligible for the program. In addition, Tennessee Promise participants must complete and submit eight (8) hours of community service per term enrolled, as well as maintain satisfactory academic progress (2.0 GPA) at their respective institution.

Tennessee Reconnect
If you are an adult looking to go back to college or begin your college journey for the first time, the Tennessee Reconnect program may be available to help you pay for The QuILTSS Workforce Development program at one of our participating institutions.
Tennessee Reconnect is the State of Tennessee’s initiative to help adults enter higher education so that they may gain new skills, advance in the workplace, and fulfill lifelong dreams of completing a degree or credential. The Tennessee Reconnect Grant is a “last dollar” grant that pays the remaining balance of tuition and mandatory fees after other state financial aid and Pell Grants have been applied. This grant is available for students who want to pursue technical certificates or associate degrees.
To find out if you qualify for Tennessee Reconnect, visit https://www.tnreconnect.gov.

Badge Assessments

12 Competency Badges = 1 QuILTSS Badge
After learners complete the coursework and prove proficiency on the summative assessment, a badge is earned. These micro-credentials represent what you know and can do to employers and the persons you support.
Upon successful completion of the course and demonstration of your competence, you will be given a pin which you can wear on your uniform, attach to a name tag or proudly display.
Once you have earned all twelve competency badges, you will earn your full QuILTSS credential.
