Lansing, MI — Michigan is accepting applications for tuition-free assistance for adults 25 and older to earn an associate’s degree or postsecondary certificate at a community college or a private training school. The program, called “Michigan Reconnect,” is being supported with an initial $30 million in funding. Applicants must be at least 25, have lived in Michigan at least a year, have a high school diploma or equivalent and not have an associate’s or bachelor’s degree. Starting this summer, the aid will cover all tuition or mandatory fees not already offset by need-based federal Pell Grants or Michigan’s tuition program for Medicaid recipients.
