Students First, Always is a driving value here at tnAchieves. That’s why we’re thrilled about Tennessee Higher Education Commission/Tennessee Student Assistance Corporation (THEC/TSAC)'s recent announcement of a pilot to simplify the path to college for students in Tennessee. On this episode of the At Scale Podcast, Krissy DeAlejandro and Ben Sterling sit down with Melanie Heath from the Lumina Foundation. Melanie explains Lumina’s involvement in the Direct Admissions announcement. This pilot reimagines and redesigns the college admissions process all with the aim to eliminate even more barriers to post-secondary education in Tennessee.
