Pellissippi State offers free grant-funded ACT prep workshop

Pellissippi State Technical Community College is inviting seniors from several area high schools to participate in a free ACT preparation workshop.

The college recently received a $25,000 diversity grant from the Tennessee Board of Regents, the institution’s governing body, to host the workshop as part of Pellissippi State’s Transition to College program.

The grant proposal targeted rural and inner-city high schools with populations that are underrepresented in earning college degrees and certificates.

Seniors from Austin-East, Carter, Central, Fulton, Gibbs, Heritage and William Blount high schools are eligible to participate.

The workshop is Jan. 26, 8:30 a.m.-4:30 p.m., in the Goins Administration Building Cafeteria on the Pellissippi Campus on Hardin Valley Road. Pellissippi State faculty will instruct.

Transportation will be provided.

Transition to College is designed to improve students’ ACT test scores, their math and writing and their college survival skills before they complete high school.

To find out more or reserve a space, contact Gayle Wood, director of Access and Diversity, at (865) 539-7160.
