Roane State Foundation accepting scholarship applications
The Roane State Foundation is accepting applications for scholarships. Students must have all information submitted by May 31 to qualify for awards that will apply to the 2025-2026 academic year. Hundreds of scholarships are available each year. Part-time and full-time Roane State students, including those who attend fully online, with a minimum 2.5 grade-point average are eligible to apply, according to a news release. The application is available at Middle and Early College students wishing to apply should use the parent portal at to access the application. More than $500,000 in scholarships was awarded this past year. 'We believe every student should have the opportunity to pursue their goals,' said Scott Niermann, executive director of the Roane State Foundation. 'Whether you are graduating from high school, a current student returning to Roane State or starting your journey as a non-traditional adult student, we encourage you to apply as soon as possible.' The Tennessee Promise scholarship covers tuition costs for conventional students enrolled after graduating from high school. Tennessee Reconnect is the program covering tuition for students 24 and older who are returning to college or enrolling for the first time. Middle and Early College students are eligible to receive grant support through the state of Tennessee. Niermann said Roane State Foundation scholarships are available to help pay for additional expenses like textbooks, school supplies and transportation needs. He added that educational expenses for the typical student can total around $1,500 a year, while those studying health care need special shoes, scrubs and other related items that can double that. To help offset these costs, the Roane State Foundation has a general scholarship fund that has been endowed by generous alumni and supporters. These funds are available to help students in any county.

Roane State joins friendly competition for 26th annual Food Drive Challenge
Tennessee's community colleges and Tennessee Colleges of Applied Technology have launched their 26th annual Food Drive Challenge, collecting food and cash donations for campus food pantries and local food bank programs serving their communities. Roane State is participating in the friendly competition as the reining Tier 1 community college champion, having reported the most donations in its category last year. 'These donations help us support students through the holidays and beyond, because we all know food insecurity doesn't end with the ringing in of a new year,' Lisa Steffensen, Roane State's dean of students, said in a news release. 'We're so grateful for the generosity of our campus community.' Donations of food items are being accepted at the college's full-service campus pantries in Roane County, Oak Ridge, Morgan County and Cumberland County during regular operating hours. All items must be collected by Friday, Dec. 6. Participants can also make monetary donations to the Roane State Foundation online by designating their gifts for the food pantry. Donors may specify a pantry location or make general gifts. Every dollar donated counts as two units of food. The Tennessee Board of Regents' Food Drive Challenge was conceived in 1999 by the Student Government Presidents Council – student leaders from across the state – as a project to help fellow students and others in their communities in need. Students have kept the food drive going for 26 years, competing with each other in tiers based on enrollment size to see which college can collect the most. More than 1.7 million items and funds converted to items have been collected. During the 2023 campaign, 128,039 items were donated. 'Everyone is a winner in this challenge but the institution with the highest total, per size and category, also wins bragging rights,' said Dr. Heidi Leming, TBR vice chancellor for student success and strategic partnerships. A 2023 Tennessee Higher Education Commission report, "Food Insecurity and Higher Education," cited a considerable body of research concluding that students experiencing food insecurity are less likely to excel academically and more likely to report stress levels that hinder their ability to focus on their studies. THEC has a webpage listing food assistance resources, including food banks and food pantries on campuses and in communities across the state. Addressing food insecurity among students is a priority of the 13 community colleges and 24 TCATs comprising the College System of Tennessee and the Tennessee Board of Regents, which governs the system. Any college in the system will connect students to local services when students indicate need.
