Do you or someone you know want to increase your earning potential? Perhaps the personal satisfaction of completing a college degree is motivation enough for you or someone you care about to reconnect with college? Whatever the reason, it is time to reconnect!

Beginning with the fall semester of 2018-19 academic year, the Tennessee Reconnect program will allow Tennessee adults who have not earned an associate or bachelor’s degree to attend an eligible institution, like Chattanooga State, free of tuition and mandatory fees while attending at least part-time.

Chattanooga State has planned a series of weekly information sessions through May 2018 to inform and prepare adults for the Tennessee Reconnect last-dollar scholarship.

RSVP for an Info Session online here or call 423-697-3346.

Are you ready to Reconnect? Complete the application at TNReconnect.gov by the Priority Registration deadline of April 15. Learn more at ChattanoogaState.edu/tnreconnect.
