Roane State Community College’s Oak Ridge campus is a great place for adult students to reconnect with their education, a press release said.

And the timing has never been better. Beginning this fall, the Tennessee Reconnect grant will provide eligible adults with the opportunity to attend Roane State tuition-free.

To learn more about Reconnect, come to Roane State’s free Reconnect Ready event at the Oak Ridge campus, 701 Briarcliff Avenue, on Thursday, March 1, from 5:30-7:30 p.m.

Roane State staff will be available to help people with the Reconnect application, financial aid process, college application, and much more.

“Earning an associate degree or technical certificate using Reconnect could land you in your dream career,” Roane State President Chris Whaley said. “Or, it could mean higher wages and new opportunities in your current job. If you have adult children, it could be their opportunity to earn a degree or certificate without the burden of student loans. Come to the Oak Ridge campus on March 1, and let us help you get Reconnect Ready.”

To learn more about Reconnect at Roane State, visit www.roanestate.edu/reconnect or call (865) 882-4545.
