Roane State, Cleveland State Community College, Columbia State Community College, Northeast State Community College, and Pellissippi State Community College are part of the consortium.

The recipients are Nikolaos Tsiamis of Oak Ridge (mechatronics), Kassie Kibler of LaFollette (chemistry), Kayley Hicks of Kingston (biology), and Nathan Landers of Andersonville (mechatronics).
