What is ARC?

ARC is a Martha O’Bryan Center initiative designed to help East Nashville students graduate from the Tennessee College of Applied Technology (TCAT).  We believe individuals learn best when education is their primary focus and they are surrounded by a community of support to assist and empower them in their journey.  The seven individuals chosen to participate in this scholarship will receive free communal housing, along with practical and social supports to ensure students graduate and move into full-time employment.
