TN HB2103

Expands the definition of "educational institution" for Tennessee National Guard tuition reimbursement to include certain private postsecondary institutions that use competency-based models and have maintained a state partnership since 2013

Sets tuition reimbursement limits at 130 semester hours for bachelor's degrees and 40 semester hours for master's degrees at traditional institutions, with competency-based institutions using average course/term requirements instead

Requires minimum GPA of 2.0 for undergraduate programs and 3.0 for master's programs at traditional institutions; competency-based institutions determine their own satisfactory progress standards

Mandates that tuition reimbursement be offset by other state and federal education assistance including Tennessee Promise, HOPE scholarship, Pell grants, and GI Bill benefits
