Beginning with the Class of 2015, Tennessee Promise will provide Tennessee high school graduates the opportunity to attend a community or technical college free of tuition and fees.
Overview
Tennessee Promise is both a scholarship and mentoring program that will begin in the fall of 2015. It will provide students a last-dollar scholarship, meaning the scholarship will cover tuition and fees not covered by the Pell grant, the HOPE scholarship, or TSAA funds. Students may use the scholarship at any of the state's 13 community colleges, 27 colleges of applied technology, or other eligible institution offering an associate's degree program. While removing the financial burden is key, a critical component of Tennessee Promise is the individual guidance each participant will receive from a mentor who will assist the student as he or she navigates the college admissions process. In addition, Tennessee Promise participants must complete eight hours of community service per term enrolled, as well as maintain satisfactory academic progress (2.0 GPA) at their institution.
Administration of Tennessee Promise
The Tennessee Student Assistance Corporation (TSAC) will administer the scholarship component of Tennessee Promise, while local, non-profit partnering organizations will coordinate the mentoring and community service pieces. County mayors selected partnering organizations for their counties in the summer of 2014. Once a student applies to the Tennessee Promise program, his or her respective partnering organization will be responsible for reaching out regarding program requirements and mentorship connections.
For more information about the Tennessee Promise please visit the Tennessee Promise website, www.tnpromise.gov.

URGENT TEAM OFFERS BACK-TO-SCHOOL PHYSICALS AND VACCINATIONS
Schools are gearing up for another year and parents are rushing around to make sure they check off all the to-do's on their students' back-to-school list. Urgent Team, one of the largest and fastest growing independent operators of urgent care centers across the Southeast, reminds parents of the importance of a back-to-school check-up.
Getting kids ready to start school can be a hectic process, but it is important to make sure they are healthy and have the required vaccinations before sending them off to school.
"When students return to school it increases child to child interaction which equates to more exposure to illness," said Lynn Scarbrough, Vice President of Clinical Operations. "Taking preventative action with vaccines and making sure your child starts the year healthy, can help reduce the spread of illness and illness-related absenses throughout the school year."
Some of the vaccines Urgent Team offers includes: Flu shot, Diphtheria, Tetanus, Pertussis, Polio, Hepatitis A & B, Measles, Mumps, Rubella and Chickenpox. Urgent Team does not provide immunizations for anyone under 4 years old.
As the start of the school year gets closer, don't forget Urgent Team has centers that are open late and on the weekends, and our physicians and nurse practictioners can administer required vaccinations for children age 4 and up, all without an appointment. Urgent Team also offers sports physicals and will give back $5 to local high school athletic programs for every athlete we conduct a sports physical for, from that school. This program runs through October 2014.
If you have any questions, please feel free to reach out to your local Urgent Team Center. Our locations and contact information can be found at UrgentTeam.com.

CO.STARTERS guides small-business owners and entrepreneurs through lean business modeling methods in a simple, intuitive way. The course will conclude with a "Shark Tank" themed Pitch Night.
During his keynote speech, Staron had the audience laughing as he discussed the importance of customer service and how a change of mind towards your customers will have a big impact. Staron noted, "There are three important things to remember when it comes to customer service. The first is to treat your customers as guests, the second is to empower your employees to operate your business, and the third was the little things matter." Upon conclusion of his presentation, Staron called state representative, Jimmy Eldridge, to the stage to use as a muse for his magic trick. Having Staron as the Keynote Speaker for this event was the perfect combination of good fun and serious business.
Chamber staff also launched an improved version of the organization's website, which has been optimized by member TenCom Services for smart phones and tablets. The new site can be viewed online at www.dyerchamber.com.
