Grant Overview
Tennessee's Priority Outcomes for Grants to Undergraduate Students Who Have not Earned A Bachelor's Or Professional Degree## Target Outcomes for Tennessee Students The Tennessee Higher Education Commission (THEC) has identified key outcomes to measure the success of grant programs supporting undergraduate students. For the Grants to Undergraduate Students Who Have not Earned A Bachelor's Or Professional Degree, priority outcomes focus on improving college readiness, persistence, and completion rates among Tennessee's undergraduate students. These outcomes align with the state's efforts to increase the percentage of high school graduates enrolling in college and to boost the number of Tennesseans holding postsecondary credentials. The state's emphasis on these outcomes is driven by the need to address the shortage of skilled workers in key industries, such as healthcare and advanced manufacturing, particularly in rural areas like the Appalachian region. By supporting undergraduate students, the grant aims to help Tennessee meet its workforce demands and drive economic growth.## Key Performance Indicators for Tennessee Grants The Banking Institution, in partnership with THEC, has established key performance indicators (KPIs) to evaluate the effectiveness of the grant program. These KPIs include: improving FAFSA completion rates among high school seniors, increasing the number of students enrolled in postsecondary education, and enhancing academic preparedness through summer bridge programs or other support services. To achieve these KPIs, grant recipients are expected to provide targeted support services, such as academic advising, mentorship, and financial assistance. For instance, institutions can use grant funds to develop predictive analytics tools to identify students at risk of dropping out, enabling early intervention and support. The state's focus on these KPIs is reflected in its 'TN Promise' scholarship program, which has seen significant success in increasing college enrollment among Tennessee high school graduates.## Evaluating Success in Tennessee To assess the impact of the Grants to Undergraduate Students Who Have not Earned A Bachelor's Or Professional Degree, the Banking Institution and THEC will track and analyze data on grant recipients, including their academic progress, retention rates, and graduation outcomes. This evaluation will be conducted in conjunction with other state initiatives, such as the Tennessee Education Lottery Scholarship (TELS) program, to ensure a comprehensive understanding of the state's postsecondary education landscape. By monitoring these outcomes, the state can refine its grant programs to better support students and address emerging challenges. As Tennessee continues to invest in its postsecondary education system, the success of this grant program will be critical in driving progress toward the state's education and workforce development goals. Applicants for this grant should be prepared to demonstrate how their proposed projects align with these priority outcomes and contribute to the state's overall education and workforce objectives.
