Michigan Reconnect Program Expands Eligibility To Ages 21 And Older

The State of Michigan has updated the guidelines for the Michigan Reconnect program, broadening eligibility to residents aged 21 and older. Previously, the program was available only to those 24 and older. 

The Michigan Reconnect program is a last-dollar scholarship initiative that covers tuition for in-district residents at local community colleges, such as SC4, and offers reduced rates for out-of-district students. The scholarship is applicable to both associate degrees and certificate programs. “Extending the age range to 21 and older provides the opportunity for more members of our community to pursue an education,” said Sarah Rutallie, chief of staff at SC4.
