They intend to go to college and will do so just in time to take advantage of a brand-new program that will guarantee them free tuition and no fees.<\/p>\n<p>The students heard all about the program\u2014UT Promise\u2014and their good fortune in having it come online as they prepare to enter college at a special, 7:30 a.m. meeting in their school library attended by a bevy of officials representing K-12 schools, higher education and state government.<\/p>\n<p>UT Promise was introduced earlier this year as a last-dollar scholarship program\u2014meaning it provides funds after all other available financial aid such as Pell grants, HOPE or institutional scholarships is received\u2014for eligible students on any University of Tennessee campus. Qualifying students meet academic admission requirements and are from households with annual family income of less than $50,000.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIf you\u2019re coming to UT and your family income is under $50,000, I have great news,\u201d said interim UT President Randy Boyd. \u201cIf you can academically earn the right to come to UT Martin, UT Chattanooga or UT Knoxville, you can attend one of our universities free of tuition and fees.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;This is the first time in the history of the country that any university system has offered this, and we\u2019re excited to be able to offer it in Tennessee.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Boyd recalled working 12-hour shifts in a manufacturing plant on Saturdays and Sundays and going to classes the rest of the week as a first-generation university student who put himself through college. UTC Chancellor Steve Angle\u2014also a first-generation graduate\u2014told the students his mother was the reason he went to college.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWhen I was in your position thinking about going to college, it was my mother who said, \u2018No, you\u2019re not going to be a truck driver. You\u2019re going to go to college,\u2019\u201d Angle said.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI thought I would be a veterinarian, and I talked to a couple of students and was going to major in biology. Then chemistry, my worst subject in high school and which I almost failed, ended up being my major and what I got a Ph.D. in, so you never know. Keep your mind open when you get to a university because you may find something you didn\u2019t expect that will open a lot of doors.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Just as important as UT Promise\u2019s financial aid, Boyd said, is the program\u2019s mentoring component to ensure aid recipients are successful students. University faculty or staff will serve as mentors for students in their first two years of college, then alumni and community mentors will step in to help undergraduates in their last two years of college with transitioning to success after graduation.<\/p>\n<p>Tennessee Sen. Patsy Hazlewood, also a self-acknowledged first-generation college graduate, praised the program\u2019s emphasis on mentoring.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI\u2019m excited about the opportunities that are being provided to students in Tennessee,\u201d she said. \u201cI look at you guys and see just a huge amount of potential. One of the most exciting things about being a representative is being able to help fund initiatives like this that you feel really make a difference in people\u2019s lives.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe money we\u2019re talking about here\u2014the dollars\u2014that\u2019s huge, but the most important thing I heard President Boyd talk about is the mentors. Having somebody who can walk you through, first, all the overwhelming paperwork with the FAFSA, having someone on campus making sure you know your way around; someone you can ask questions you think might be too silly to ask in public. This is a big gift that you\u2019ve been handed, but you have to do some work to take advantage of it. Start tonight. Go to the website.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Then Hazlewood led the assembled students through a recitation of the URL for the UT Promise website: UTPromise.tennessee.edu<\/p>\n<p>Red Bank Principal Elaine Harper, also a UTC alumna, noted that she has been in her post for four years as of the current academic year and will see the first class of Red Bank seniors eligible to take advantage of UT Promise.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI\u2019ve been your principal for your whole time in high school, and I\u2019m so excited that you\u2019re the first group to get this opportunity for the UT Promise,\u201d Harper said.<\/p>\n<p>Boyd said he anticipated the gathered juniors and seniors would have multiple college opportunities and offered some advice for making their choices.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cMost of you probably have a lot of other options. You\u2019re thinking maybe about other colleges across the state, maybe across the country, but you only want to go to a college that wants you, that welcomes you. You don\u2019t want to go someplace where they don\u2019t welcome you or they don\u2019t really want you,\u201d Boyd said.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe only way to really know that they truly want you is if their president comes to your high school. So, when you\u2019re making your list of all the schools you\u2019d go to, start with the ones that had the president personally come and invite you, and exclude all the rest. Start ranking away. I\u2019m the president of the University of Tennessee, and I want you to come to our university and I look forward to seeing you on campus next fall.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Nov. 1 is the UT Promise application deadline.
