Students who graduate from high school in Michigan with a diploma or certificate of completion or achieved a high school equivalency certificate in 2023 or after will be eligible for more financial aid from the State of Michigan:
- Up to $2,000 if they attend a career training program in Michigan, per year, up to two years
- Up to $2,750 if they attend a Michigan community college, per year, up to three years
- Up to $4,000 if they attend a Michigan private college or university, per year, up to five years
- Up to $5,500 if they attend a Michigan public university, per year, up to five years
This is a Michigan scholarship for new Michigan high school graduates. The goal is to make college affordable to more students, increase Michigan’s homegrown talent pool and get the state closer to Governor Whitmer’s goal to increase the number of Michigan adults with a skill certificate or college degree to 60% by 2030.
