In order to meet the growing demand for college-educated workers, many states are engaging in policy efforts to re-enroll adults with prior college experience and support them to degree completion. One such effort is Tennessee Reconnect (TNR), a last-dollar grant program launched in Fall 2018. This report describes the populations of applicants and enrollees in detail, including their background characteristics, previous academic experiences, and academic performance in the 2018-19 academic year. It concludes with a discussion of potential intervention efforts to increase take-up of TNR or the likelihood of degree completion among TNR recipients.
