With opportunities for Tennesseans to to attend college at an all-time high — thanks for Governor Bill Haslam’s landmark Tennessee Promise and Tennessee Reconnect programs and his dramatic increases in funding of the state’s need-based scholarship program — the Tennessee Board of Regents is honored to create the Student of Excellence Awards for one community college student and one college applied technology student.

There is no better time than now to begin honoring the Volunteer State’s “Best and Brightest” students publicly, at an annual event that recognizes this incredible point in our state’s education history.

This new two-day annual event will encompass Tennessee’s leaders from education and government, as well as business and industry, as a grand opportunity to let our state know just how amazing our students are.
