Motlow State Community College continues to make headlines as one of the state’s top performing institution for the Tennessee Promise scholarship program. After leading all colleges in Tennessee in enrollment growth for the fall 2015 semester, Motlow recently topped all Tennessee community colleges in another important category.
Of the 13 participating institutions in the state, Motlow had the highest percentage of students completing their community service requirement for the upcoming spring semester. Eighty-eight percent of the students enrolled in Tennessee Promise at Motlow completed the minimum of eight hours of community service required by the Dec. 1 deadline.
When Motlow led all Tennessee colleges in growth at the beginning of the fall term, it was recognized that the biggest challenge moving forward would be retaining students under the requirements of Tennessee Promise. Achieving the highest percentage of students completing their community service indicates Motlow is well on its way to meeting this challenge.
