Who are we?

Persist Nashville empowers first-generation college students to achieve their postsecondary goals by providing skilled coaching during the first two years of their student’s college journey, regardless of the type of institution they attend. Since 2019, Persist Nashville has served more than 4300 students along their postsecondary journey and its students have achieved an 87% college persistence rate.

Bring a friend, a group of four, or be a sponsor. We're excited for you to "swing by," learn more about our mission, meet our students, and enjoy the "par-tee!"
