Tennessee high school seniors have only a few weeks left to complete an application for free tuition at the state's community colleges and technology centers. Scott Shasteen with Motlow College says the deadline to apply is nearing...

Again, that's November 1st for the deadline. Motlow will hold four "The Promise Begins at Motlow" sessions before the deadline, where future students can complete the Tennessee Promise application and a Motlow College admissions application. The Motlow admissions application fee of $25 will be waived for high school seniors who attend a session and complete both applications. The session held locally in Smyrna will be Saturday, October 18th at 10am.
