Behind every student-athlete is a story worth hearing.
Brayden Baker (Baseball), Hayleigh Dearing (Softball), and Nataya Wardlow (Basketball) are sharing how scholarships have helped them stay focused on their education, compete at a high level, and pursue their goals.
Support from events like the Vol State Athletics Golf Classic helps make these opportunities possible. Every swing helps fund scholarships, resources, and experiences that open doors for student-athletes.
It’s an investment in their futures and the impact they will make next. 💙⛳

Future STEM innovators are taking flight right here in our community!
Local Girl Scouts jumped into hands-on programming with Bee Bots, building confidence and discovering how fun problem-solving can be. Experiences like this spark curiosity and start a path that can lead to the hands-on learning happening every day at Vol State.
These students are already taking their first steps toward futures in technology, engineering, mechatronics, and more.
Share this post and help us cheer on these future leaders as they explore what’s possible!
This week, Pioneers are representing Vol State on the national stage!
Our team is headed to SkillsUSA, where they’ll put their skills to the test through real-world competition at the National Leadership & Skills Conference in Atlanta.
Join us in cheering on Layah Garton as she competes in the focused area of Criminal Justice, and Luc Tran as he competes in Computer Programming.

Mark your calendar for the 20th Annual Vol State Athletics Golf Classic.
It's a day full of competition, connection, and showing up for Vol State student-athletes.
Putting with the Pres. is back, and so is your shot at the Volunteer Bank Corporate Cup.
This tournament just means more — because of who it supports. We're raising funds to support student athletes.
One of this year's recipients, on our TCCAA Championship Softball team, reminds us what it’s all about:
"As a student-athlete far from home, this support has been truly life-changing. Balancing the demands of academics, athletics, and being away from my family can be challenging. This scholarship eases some of that financial pressure, allowing me to focus on excelling both in the classroom and on the field and is a reminder that there are people who believe in my potential!"
Corporate teams, come be part of the 20th Annual Golf Classic and help keep opportunities like this going.
Share this and invite someone you to join you on August 3!
At Vol State, we’re proud to create an environment where students can truly shine.
Meet Willow Carden, a recent graduate who took full advantage of every opportunity. From earning Dean’s List honors to serving as a President’s Ambassador and giving back across the community, she’s been named the 2026 Social Science & Education Division Excellence Award recipient.
As one professor shared, “She is an example of professionalism… and displays integrity in the classroom.”
And her impact goes beyond academics...
Willow is also part of our TCCAA Champion Softball team, who is now competing at the NJCAA National Tournament. She is representing Vol State on the national stage just days after graduation.
Student-athletes like Willow show what’s possible when talent meets opportunity.
We’re proud of you, Willow, and we’re cheering you on all the way. 💙🥎
