Knox Promise COMPLETE Grants
Thanks to the Haslam Family Foundation, Knox Promise COMPLETE grants are available to TN Promise students to ensure unexpected financial burdens are not barriers on their path to college graduation.
COMPLETE THE FORM BELOW TO APPLY FOR A COMPLETE GRANT. PRIOR TO COMPLETING THE FORM, PLEASE MAKE SURE YOU READ ALL OF THE INFORMATION BELOW, UNDERSTAND THE REQUIREMENTS AND HAVE ALL REQUESTED DOCUMENTATION READY TO ATTACH TO THE FORM.
A Knox Promise COMPLETE grant serves as additional funding that can cover costs outside of tuition and mandatory fees. Determining eligibility and requesting a COMPLETE grant is simple. To qualify, a student must:
- Be eligible for a federal PELL grant. This is based on a student’s Estimated Family Contribution (EFC) as determined using the FAFSA. Please ask your COMPLETE coach or the financial aid office for clarification if you are unsure.
- Be eligible for TN Promise.
- Be enrolled full-time.
- Complete the Knox Promise COMPLETE grant form in its entirety, including necessary documentation.
- Connect with your tnAchieves COMPLETE coach.
Qualifying students can be awarded up to $1,500 per academic period (periods reset Aug. 1, Dec. 1 and May 1). Knox Promise COMPLETE grants are distributed on a first-come, first-served basis as funding is limited.

All COMPLETE grants require a screenshot or photo of your schedule showing you are enrolled full time. This schedule can simply be a screenshot from your student portal, but it MUST have your name on it. Additional documentation required for each category (if any) is listed below:

If you are requesting funding in multiple categories, you will need to submit a separate grant request for each category, however, this can be completed within the same form. Simply select “yes” on the question at the end of each grant form to submit an additional request within the same form. For example, if you are requesting $100 in gas money and $450 for books, you will need to submit TWO separate grant requests.
Please do not submit the same request multiple times!
