Amends TCA Title 4, Chapter 49; Title 49, Chapter 4 and Title 49, Chapter 7.

Tennessee HB0148 amends existing law to establish a permanent program for awarding completion grants to Tennessee Promise scholarship students facing financial hardships, replacing the previous four-year pilot program. The bill creates a special account for these grants, modifies funding restrictions, and mandates that each eligible student be assigned a coach and have access to grants of up to $1,000 per semester starting in the 2025-2026 fiscal year. Key changes include the removal of the pilot designation, the expansion of funding sources, and the integration of program outcomes into the annual Tennessee Promise report.
