Advise TN is the only state-operated, state-funded college access program in Tennessee. Advise TN was developed by the Tennessee Higher Education Commission (THEC) and the Office of former governor Bill Haslam. Driven by the belief that every student has the potential to attend and thrive in postsecondary education, Advise TN aims to increase the number of Tennesseans accessing higher education by partnering with high schools and providing college advising services to up to 10,000 junior and senior students across Tennessee. 

Advisors provides services to all juniors and seniors at each participating high school with the intention of helping students enroll in the postsecondary option where they will be most likely to succeed and persist to a degree or credential—be it a four-year university, community college, Tennessee College of Applied Technology, or other form of quality postsecondary education.
