Michigan Reconnect Scholarship

Now is the time for Michigan residents 25 and over to attend college!

Leverage the scholarship dollars that may be available to you from the state of Michigan’s Reconnect Scholarship program.

This program will pay for in-district tuition, technology fees and contact hours not already covered by a Pell Grant or other tuition-only fund. Out-district students who receive the scholarship will be required to pay the difference between the in-district and out-district tuition rates.

Keep in mind, WCC has one of the most affordable tuition rates in the state.
