Knox Access
In partnership with school counselors, tnAchieves is working to increase Knox County’s college-going rate by assigning six Access coaches to all Knox County high schools and two Sevier County high schools.
About
Knox Access
-
Coaches assist in four major benchmarks associated with college access: TN Promise application, Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA), College application and Fall Registration. Coaches work with students in 1-1/small groups, classroom visits, workshops, and virtually. The goal of the Access program is to ensure that all students have a clear pathway to a post-secondary institution regardless of TN Promise intentions. Our goal is to increase the college-going rate to 70% and report where 100% of the 4000+ Knox and Sevier County seniors land in the fall following their high school graduation.
