Columbia State Community College has been awarded a $200,000 grant from the Tennessee Higher Education Commission to increase student retention and on-time graduation rates.

Through the Institutional Outcome Improvement Fund grant, Columbia State will implement the Educational Advisory Board’s Navigate platform and a new Charger Center will be created that will link students to academic advising and provide career guidance and intrusive academic coaching to students.

The Tennessee Higher Education Commission develops, implements and evaluates postsecondary education policies and programs in Tennessee and is focused on increasing the number of Tennesseans with a postsecondary credential.
