Seniors and juniors are allowed four college visits. Students are responsible for all work missed. College visits will count as an absence and may affect a senior’s final exam exemption status.

During senior and junior lunch, colleges throughout the year will send a representative to answer questions about their school, the programs they offer, and information about financial aid and admittance. This is a great way to expand the college search and to see if a college is the right fit for you.

Seniors may apply for the Tennessee Promise scholarship, which will provide two years of tuition-free attendance at a community or technical college in Tennessee.

Review the requirements for the Hope Scholarship and apply online.
