At Scale Newsletter: April 2026
The April 2026 tnAchieves “At Scale” newsletter highlights programs advancing its mission to build Tennessee’s future workforce, emphasizing the impact of coaching and financial support on student success. A recent SCORE report found that students receiving COMPLETE Coaching and Grants were significantly more likely to persist in college, with especially strong gains among students of color. The expansion of MemCOMPLETE and MemACCESS into Shelby County is already showing promising results, including higher graduation rates among economically disadvantaged students through coaching, financial aid, and school-based support. Additionally, tnAchieves has opened registration for its Summer Bridge and Summer Institute programs, which help incoming students strengthen academic readiness and, in the case of Summer Institute, earn college credits before starting their first semester.
