Tennessee House approves Haslam’s tuition-free college plan for adults

Gov. Bill Haslam’s plan to offer Tennessee adults tuition-free community college moved closer to a reality Thursday when state House members approved the measure.

Haslam proposed the Tennessee Reconnect grant during his State of the State address earlier this year. The plan would build on the Tennessee Promise scholarship model, which offers high school students tuition-free community college.

If the plan is approved by the Senate, every Tennessee resident without a college education will be able to pursue higher education without paying tuition. Tennessee would be the first state in the nation to offer such widespread college access.
