We have updated our website! Visit www.seviercountypip.com to find out if you are eligible to receive a scholarship, how to receive assistance with your dual enrollment classes, what programs are currently offered at the ETSU Sevierville campus and lots of other information.
We are so excited to share with you that we received our first check from Kroger for our participation in the Kroger Community Rewards program. Thank you to those that have already enrolled with Sevier County Partners in Progress.
If you have a Kroger's reward card, we invite you to joint us.
Please go to www.kroger.com and once you have logged into your Kroger account, search for Sevier County Partners in Progress by name or by the code MT328 and then click "enroll". If you do this, it will increase the amount of our next quarterly check and our scholarship fund. It is so easy and doesn't cost you anything nor does it affect your Kroger gas points.
Thank you in advance for your support.
Thank you to the following businesses who are participating in "Round Up" for Education this summer: Dolly Parton's Stampede, Old Forge Distillery, NASCAR Speedpark, Ripley's, Texas Roadhouse (Sevierville & Pigeon Forge), Anakeesta, Rainforest Adventures, WonderWorks, Courthouse Donuts, Pigeon Forge Snow, Hatcher Cleaners, and Three Bears. If you visit one of these establishments, be sure to "round up" your change. All money raised through this effort goes to scholarships.
If your business would be interested in participating, call Janice Bettis at 865-428-2212 or email janice.bettis@gmail.com.

We are excited about all the scholarship applications we have received for Fall 2019 - double the number from Fall 2018. This requires us to use all means possible to raise money for scholarships. Here is an easy way you can help.
If you shop at Kroger and have a Kroger rewards card, you can link your Kroger account to Partners in Progress. Each time you shop & scan your card, PIP will receive points and receive a reward. It's easy to do, doesn't cost you anything but would mean a lot to us. Won't you help us? This is how - visit www.kroger.com. Once you are logged into your account, search for Sevier County Partners in Progress Education either by name or MT328, then click enroll. Thank you.

As a store winner, Kelly will compete on a district level. Good luck, Kelly! We love seeing our graduates succeed.
Congratulations Kelly!!

Happy New Year to all that have supported us in 2018. We look forward to being able to serve more students in 2019 because you have donated to Partners in Progress! We are excited for what the future holds. Happy New Year also to all of our students!
Merry Christmas to all our students, our donors and our colleagues that help make Partners in Progress possible.
Sevier County Partners in Progress Education Foundation lost one of our board members last week with the passing of Mayor Bryan Atchley. Our thoughts & prayers go out to Bryan's Ann Marie and Bryan, Jr., his family, friends and colleagues. He was a special man and will be deeply missed. To honor Bryan, our Board members are donating funds to establish the Bryan C. Atchley Scholarship. We felt that this was appropriate way for us to remember him and honor his commitment to this Board and our mission.
Good luck to all of our students that are taking finals this week. Study hard - then take a break and enjoy the holidays!
A huge thank you to everyone that signed up to be a mentor for tnAchieves. I received a phone call Friday afternoon telling me we had met the goal for Sevier County. I was so excited. If you are new to the mentoring program, welcome! If you are a returning mentor, thank you for continuing to support our students.
Please consider serving as a mentor in Sevier County and help provide a student with support in their college going process. Being a mentor takes less than 1 hour/month reminding students of important deadlines and serving as a resource. The deadline to sign up is November 30th - just 2 weeks away. We still need 42 mentors to meet the goal for Sevier County. You can apply by going to www.tnachieves.org/mentors/apply.
TnAchieves is two weeks away from the 2019 mentor recruitment deadline and 42 more mentors are needed to to meet the goal of 143 mentors for Sevier County.
To grow awareness, tnAchieves is hosting a Twitter Chat tonight at 6PM CT/7PM ET focused on the tnAchieves mentor program and its impact on students and communities! To participate, follow on Twitter and use the hashtag #TNPromiseMentor!
Please share this information. We need to make sure Sevier County meets their goal. Thank you.
We are making progress. Sevier County still needs 44 mentors to reach our goal. Please consider doing this? It could really make a difference in the life of a young person and it doesn't take a lot of time.
Go to tnachieves.org/mentors/requirements to complete your application. You will be glad that you did.
We still need 54 mentors in Sevier County. Won't you please consider doing this? It could really make a difference in the life of a young person.
Please consider being a mentor to a few of our Sevier County students. We still need 60 mentors.Our 2019 mentor recruitment map has been updated! This makes it easy to see where your county stands!
Our online dashboard is also updated as of today: buff.ly/2SuzFdM
I was privileged to share with the 2018 Leadership Sevier class at ETSU Sevierville. Thank you to Emma Walker for sharing with the group what the scholarship means to her. Emma attended Seymour High School, took dual enrollment classes, attended Walters State and is now a senior at our Sevierville ETSU campus studying radiography. It is reported that the average college loan debt at graduation for 2017 students was $29,900. Emma will have no debt because she received a Partners in Progress Scholarship.
tnAchieves, the partnering organization to Governor Haslam’s TN Promise in 83 counties, is looking for 9,0000 volunteers to serve as mentors. Sevier County needs 143 mentors. Sixty-nine have committed to serving as a mentor. We still need 74. Mentors spend about one hour per month working with a group of students to help eliminate the barriers associated with the transition from high school to college. Mentors remind students of important deadlines, serve as a trusted college resource and, most importantly, encourage students to reach their full potential. The time commitment is small, only about one hour per month, but the impact on the students can be life changing. To learn more and apply you can visit www.tnachieves.org/mentors/apply.
Please consider serving as a tnAchieves mentor in Sevier County!

We are half way through July. I'm curious to know. Has anyone asked you if you want to "round up". Can't wait to find out how much this program will raise for our scholarship program.
Sevier County Partners in Progress Education Foundation recently received a $1,000 Community grant from WalMart. Thank you to WalMart for supporting education in Sevier County. Willie Vestal, WalMart manager, is pictured with Janice Bettis, Executive Director of Partners in Progress.

If you own a business or work for a business that would be willing to Round Up in July, call Janice Bettis at 865-428-2212. All money raised will be used for scholarships in Sevier County! Help us by "Rounding Up"! (Please share this post.)
Sevier County Partners in Progress Education Foundation thanks First Tennessee Bank and Community Bank President Jimmy Milllsaps for their commitment of $25,000 over a five-year period. This year marks the second year of the five-year commitment. We would not be able to provide scholarships to our students without the support of businesses like First Tennessee Bank. We appreciate their support.
Hope you saw the article in Saturday's Mountain Press on "Round Up for Education". And that you heard us on the radio this morning. Mayors Waters, Atchley, Wear and Werner have issued a proclamation recognizing July as Round Up for Education month in Sevier County. We are recruiting businesses to participate. It's as simple as asking your customers to "round up" their change to the next dollar. All money raised will help fund scholarships for our students to attend ETSU in Sevierville and for our high school students to take dual enrollment classes at WSCC. Call Janice Bettis 865-428-2212 for additional details.
CONGRATULATIONS to the following Partners in Progress scholarship students that graduated last week from East Tennessee State University.
