Tuskegee University Signs Historic MOU with Trenholm State Community College​

August 09, 2023​

Morris and Chambers



Tuskegee, Alabama — Tuskegee University and Trenholm State Community College have formed a partnership that will provide a seamless transfer process for Trenholm State students to complete their bachelor’s degree. This partnership was formalized with a Memorandum of Understanding Signing Ceremony held Aug. 9 at Tuskegee University.

Through this partnership, Trenholm State Community College students will be able to complete a four-year bachelor’s degree from Tuskegee University, the No. 3 Ranked HBCU in the Nation by U.S. News and World Report.

As part of the agreement, Tuskegee will award three transfer students scholarships every fall – a Tuskegee Merit Scholarship; Tuskegee Transfer Grant; and an Alabama Transfer Grant. The agreement also offers a reverse transfer credit opportunity, which allows Trenholm students to transfer to Tuskegee before they have completed their associate degree. Students who are transferring will be allowed to participate in Tuskegee events the semester before they transfer – allowing them to enjoy athletic events; the Learning Resource Center; and Career Services resources.

“When I came to Montgomery in 1983, my first place of employment was Trenholm State Community College,” said President Charlotte P. Morris. “This MOU is long overdue. We have been working together, collaborating for many years, we have just not made it official. Tuskegee University is proud to solidify this partnership, allowing even more students to enjoy the Tuskegee Experience. This collaboration allows Trenholm students to continue their education at Tuskegee and more comfortably advance their academic aspirations.”

Dr. Kemba Chambers, President of Trenholm State Community College, stated “We are thrilled to have a new partnership with Tuskegee University. The signing of this articulation agreement is historic and monumental, as this is our first articulation and partnership with Tuskegee University. Having this articulation agreement in place will provide future educational pathways for our students to seamlessly transfer to Tuskegee to complete their bachelor’s degree,” continued Dr. Chambers. Through this partnership, Trenholm State students will have a seamless transfer process, opportunities for transfer scholarships, advising from Tuskegee University advisors, as well as access to other student services and athletic events.

“This is the first HBCC articulation with Tuskegee University,” said Dr. Chambers. “With the signing of the MOU, we want to ensure when our students decide on a specific major, they can transfer without interruption.”

So since Trenholm pipelines from local high schools those kids now have a potential direct pipeline to Tuskegee. Sweet.

So since Trenholm pipelines from local high schools those kids now have a potential direct pipeline to Tuskegee. Sweet.

And they will be stronger students when they transfer than they would be if they got in and entered as freshman.

I'm really excited to read about these CC to U. partnerships.

Alabama Governor Joins Celebration of Flight School Partnership | Tuskegee University

Tuskegee University, Alabama Governor Kay Ivey, the City of Tuskegee, the Macon County Economic Development Authority, and LIFT Academy announce a partnership that will restore flight training to an airfield where the legacy of the Tuskegee Airmen began.

www.tuskegee.edu

. The university has planned to launch a flight school and degree program next fall pending approval by the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools Commission on Colleges.


“We are excited that this will honor the Tuskegee Airmen who were trained on the Tuskegee University campus,” said Dr. Charlotte P. Morris, President of Tuskegee University. “We are pleased to partner with the City of Tuskegee, the state, the county and LIFT Academy. This gives our students an opportunity to expand their opportunities. We also want to honor the pilot who trained them, of course, that was Chief Charles Anderson.”


Last month, Tuskegee University announced a $6.7 million award for federal funding to support the flight school and degree program sponsored by Alabama Sen. Katie Britt. The Moton Field event introduced the LIFT Academy and municipal partners who have collaborated on the program.


“We are on the grounds where the Tuskegee Airmen made history,” said Tuskegee Mayor Tony Haygood. “And we’re on the way to make new history.”


“This was a long time coming and is a pure collaboration,” said Joe Turnham, Director of the Macon County Economic Development Authority. “One day we will have 20 – 25 trainers and students out here. Continue to support us, we’ve got a lot of great things happening.”


Tuskegee’s new program will offer a bachelor’s degree in Aviation Science (pilot track) with two components. The first component includes general education core and aviation science related courses in aerodynamics, aircraft structures, aircraft propulsion, performance stability and control as well as meteorology. The second component is flight training where students will be able to take the appropriate FAA certification for private and commercial pilot certificates. The university is optimistic that the new flight program will help an industry where the pilot shortage is expected to worsen as demand for air travel continues to grow.


“We will train a new generation of aviators who will support the need for military and commercial pilots in general and African American pilots specifically,” said Dr. Morris. “This new generation of Tuskegee airmen and women will continue the contribution that we have made with a focus on delivering excellence in the air and on the ground.”
