Expanding Tuition-Free Education Opportunities for Michigan Adults

Michigan Governor Gretchen Whitmer has expanded the state's tuition-free community college scholarship program, Michigan Reconnect, to include adults between the ages of 21 and 24 who have not yet earned a college degree. Previously limited to adults 25 and up, this expansion aims to help more Michigan residents gain access to education and achieve their career goals. The program, which has already received over 132,000 applications, requires interested individuals to apply for the scholarship, apply to a Michigan community or tribal college, and file a Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) by November 15, 2024.
