Pathway of the Month
Early College Experience (ECE)
This opportunity takes advantage of the Dual Enrollment Grant and a scholarship offered by Pellissippi State to cover tuition for all students who are accepted into the program. Student candidates must meet GPA requirements, teacher recommendation, ACT/Pre-ACT/SAT/PSAT/Accuplacer scores to be eligible. A student who is accepted into the program will follow the course sequence on the next page.
Students who wish to enroll in differing coursework would do so under the traditional dual enrollment format. They would not be a part of this program and thus not eligible for the Pellissippi State scholarship associated with the Early College Experience.
