Tennessee Board of Regents (TBR)

Another great day to cut the ribbon on a new facility to serve our students: Tennessee College of Applied Technology-Shelbyville's beautiful new Bedford County Higher Education Center. Thanks to everyone who made this amazing project possible. It will educate and train students in the region for generations.

Your donation to the Chancellor's Fund for Excellence can be the deciding factor for a student's ability to remain enrolled and complete their program. Financial obstacles are a significant barrier to student persistence and completion. Contributions provide direct aid, helping those just like nursing student Beth Ammons manage educational expenses and focus on their studies. This support is vital for them to achieve their educational goals and enter the workforce. Invest in Tennessee's future leaders. Give today: https://bit.ly/4nsgEpS #Tennessee #Giving #StudentSuccess

Today, we officially opened two new facilities at TCAT - Upper Cumberland, which will modernize instruction for trucking and industrial automotive students in Crossville and Livingston.
