Free In-District Tuition with the Michigan Reconnect Scholarship

Now is the time for Michigan residents 25 and over to attend college! The state of Michigan recently announced a new scholarship program to make a college education more affordable and accessible to all residents.

This scholarship 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.

To be eligible you must apply with the state of Michigan and meet the following criteria:

At least 25 years old when you apply
Michigan resident, having lived in Michigan for a minimum of one year
Have a high school diploma or GED
Have not yet completed any college degrees

Below are four easy steps to complete if you meet the eligibility criteria:

Apply for the scholarship on the state of Michigan website
Apply to WCC if you are not already enrolled
Submit your FAFSA. WCC’s Federal School Code is 002328
Enroll in classes at WCC (at least 6 credit hours) and stay enrolled continuously through graduation
