TN makes CC free for all adults w/o a degree

[cookderosa]

Last dollar awards via community colleges almost always amount to a whole lotta nothing. Unless your CC program is exceptionally expensive, you'll have to exceed the Pell Grant award before money kicks in. So at about $5600 for a Pell, your CC needs to cost at least $180 per credit before you use all the Pell. Of course, zero tuition is zero tuition - so jump on that.
