Program Mission
Our mission is simple. We aim to help students reach new heights with education. Through our Sevier County education program, we want to provide students with incredible educational opportunities at little to no cost to them! We award scholarships for students to take dual enrollment classes at Walters State Community College while attending one of the Sevier County high schools. Once they have graduated and have successfully completed 60 hours at WSCC, they are eligible to receive up to $3,000 per semester for 4 semesters to enable them to obtain a 4 year degree from ETSU in Sevierville with little or no tuition debt!
We are here to help you.
If you or someone you know is entering or currently in high school and hopes to attend college post-graduation, let us help you plan for the future now! We can help you earn college credits and scholarships even before you step foot in a college classroom.
Admissions & Aid
When you join the Partners in Progress Program, we will help you plan for your future. We can assist you in finding scholarships, completing your FAFSA, enrolling in school and more!
We are here to answer your questions and work towards getting you one step closer to that college degree!
From Our Recent Grads
I would like to thank Partners in Progress for recognizing the need for non-traditional student’s access to scholarship funds. Pursuing my bachelor's degree later in life, it became apparent that scholarships were almost nonexistent for the non-traditional student who had graduated WSCC in 1995 with an associate's degree. I appreciate the opportunity to be a part of Sevier County and have a great respect for PIP and all the supporting businesses. A special thanks to Allen Newton for listening to all my education goals even before I was able to get started at ETSU. A big thank you to Brandi Huskey and to my advisor Dr. JoAnne Smith.
With Gratitude,
