Don’t Miss the Tennessee Promise Community Service Hours Deadline

Tennessee Promise community service hours for students currently using the scholarship must be submitted Friday, December 1, 2023, by 11:59 p.m. to remain eligible to receive the last dollar scholarship. Current college students and new fall 2023 recipients of the scholarship must complete eight hours prior to the beginning of each semester, trimester, or quarter. That requirement continues while they are still in school and receiving the scholarship.

For students who will start receiving the scholarship fall 2024, they are required to complete their first eight hours by Monday, July 1, 2024, to remain eligible.

Students can volunteer onsite locally in their community { see volunteer opportunities in Hardeman County } or at locations outside of their area that have volunteer opportunities. Community service may include tutoring, environmental clean-up, job shadowing, volunteering through a non-profit, and other activities for which the student is not paid and does not benefit personally.

They are also able to complete community service hours from the comfort of their own home. tnAchieves created a series of educational and informative webinars students may watch to satisfy the community service requirement. Those videos can be accessed through the tnAchieves student portal.

One of the main benefits of doing community service is giving back to one’s community. Other benefits include exploring career interests and connecting with others in those fields.
