Did you know, beginning fall semester 2024 recent high school graduates are eligible for the Community College Guarantee regardless of family income?听

Passed by Governor Whitmer and the Michigan Legislature for Fiscal Year 2025, the Community College Guarantee will cover in-district tuition costs and fees for graduating high school seniors to earn a degree or skill certificate at their local community college.听

Eligible students are those who graduated from a Michigan high school or earned a high school equivalency certificate in 2023 or beyond. The Guarantee includes in-district tuition based on contact hours and mandatory fees. Also included is an additional $1,000 bonus living expenses award for students eligible for a Federal Pell Grant. Students must complete the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) and are potentially eligible for the Guarantee regardless of the Student Aid Index (SAI) as calculated by the FAFSA.听

• Complete the 2024-25 FAFSA if you haven鈥檛 already done so at fafsa.gov听听

• Be a Michigan resident since July 1 of the previous calendar year. If a student is a dependent per the FAFSA, then parent(s) must also be a Michigan resident since July 1 of the previous calendar year听

• Graduate from a Michigan high school or earn a high school equivalency certificate in 2023 or after听

• Enroll full-time in college within 15 months of your high school graduation听
