Building Momentum at the State Level: NCAN Members Share Policy Priorities. Tennessee
National College Attainment Network
Three organizations (a total of four individuals) participated in interviews regarding postsecondary access and attainment policy in Tennessee. Each of the interviewees identified Tennessee Promise as the centerpiece of postsecondary affordability conversations within the state. Some interviewees articulated an ongoing need to improve affordability, including through equitable free college and need-based aid, while others felt that most major affordability concerns were addressed through Tennessee Promise and other state financial aid. Members also identified access and affordability for undocumented students as a policy priority, while noting the state's challenging political context for this topic. Interviewees expressed a desire for more support from National College Attainment Network (NCAN) around state policy research and policy process engagement, including assistance analyzing data and building reports and messages to share with state policymakers.
