4. A note from our college adviser…
Governor Gretchen Whitmer announced that the high school graduating Class of 2023 can apply for the Michigan Achievement Scholarship and lower their cost of college by thousands of dollars a year. Students should talk to their parents or guardians, gather documents, and fill out their Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) as soon as possible in order to take advantage of this scholarship opportunity.
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 an eligible private training provider in Michigan, per year, up to two years.
-Up to $2,750 if they attend a community college, per year, up to three years.
-Up to $5,500 if they attend a public university, per year, up to five years.
-Up to $4,000 if they attend a private college or university, per year, up to five years.
Students will be eligible if their family demonstrates financial need* when they complete the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA).
*Financial need is defined as an Expected Family Contribution (EFC) of $25,000 or less.
