Tennessee Department of Human Services Helps Students Realize Dream
Students across the state are graduating from community college this month through a unique outreach program with the Tennessee Department of Human Services (TDHS). More than two years ago, TDHS launched an effort to encourage high school seniors receiving benefits through Families First to apply for the Tennessee Promise. That outreach later expanded to include families receiving benefits through the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP, formerly known as food stamps) and families who receive child support services.
