Greetings from Nashville State!

In a post-pandemic world, we are seeing the realities of the toll this critical time in our nation and world has taken. Federal funding that once filled the gap is fading; the cost of living has increased due to inflation; and students are seeking support now more than ever. This underscores the significance of financial support from donors like you. Even amidst challenging times, there is a generous spirit binding us together. Our supporters understand the critical work to be accomplished now and ahead and stand ready as partners to help Nashville State achieve our mission. We are thankful you share in our pride for the success we’ve achieved over the years and especially this one. Here’s to you!

Cecily Freeman Stone, Executive Director

Nashville State Community College Foundation

Vision 2030: A student ready college

Nashville State’s vision is to lead the nation in achieving equitable outcomes for our diverse community of learners. We understand that to keep our region vibrant and thriving, we must grow our own talent. We are moving forward toward our Vision 2030: A Student Ready College strategic plan. This past year we opened our new North Davidson Campus, increasing access for an area that had been underserved. But access to education isn’t enough. The barriers our students face to complete their education require a holistic approach to support. That is why the Nashville State Community College Foundation is critical to our efforts. Your time, gifts and talents directly impact student success and workforce development at the college. Thank you for supporting our students, our college and our community!

Like community colleges nationally, more than half of Nashville State Community College’s student body enroll part-time (56%).

Part-time students face different financial, social and academic challenges than traditional students. Colleges face unique challenges engaging part-time students to help them persist and succeed to degree completion. Like most other states, Tennessee’s lastdollar promise scholarship known as the TN Promise Scholarship, is limited to students who enroll full-time.

“Nashville State is focused on being a student ready college. A critical piece is understanding what supports our students need to succeed,” said Dr. Shanna L. Jackson, president of Nashville State. “Like Nashville GRAD, Flex provides wrap-around services, helping remove financial barriers and providing social and emotional support to our part-time students as they persist and graduate.”

Flex is modeled after the successful Nashville GRAD program. GRAD students’ 2-year graduation rate is nearly double that of other NSCC students, and GRAD students persist (84.5% vs. 68.5%) and are retained (57% vs. 45%) at higher rates than TN Promise students.

As part of Nashville Flex, part-time students receive: $150 per semester for textbooks, $100 monthly for transit and/ or food, a loaner laptop, a strong peer network, and a dedicated advisor who provides mentoring and support. Flex students can also request emergency funds to help support them when unexpected financial challenges arise –such as car repairs or medical bills.

Flex soft-launched in January 2021 with 11 students. With full implementation beginning this fall semester, the roster for the demonstration project has grown to 52 students.

“My students are so resilient,” said Lindsay Hager, manager of peer mentoring and Flex student success advisor. “They are fighting so much, and yet they still prioritize their education. They prioritize it because they know it will better their future, no matter how hard it is right now.” The financial supports provided through Flex help keep students from feeling forced to choose between employment or postsecondary.

Recognizing these and other barriers, The TN College Access and Success Network (TCASN), Nashville State, the Nashville Area Chamber of Commerce, Vanderbilt University’s Peabody College, and Kresge Foundation for Education made the decision to focus on the success of part-time students and are already seeing it impact students positively.

“I can work 8 hours less this week and still be able to get groceries. It really does give you this sense of comfort and this level of ‘things are going to be okay.’”
Flex Student
