Michigan high school seniors could be eligible for the Michigan Achievement Scholarship for college in the fall of 2023. They need to be sure to complete the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) and apply for the scholarship here.  

The scholarship awards up to $8,250 over three years for earning an associate degree at a community college, up to $20,000 over five years for earning a degree at a private college, or up to $27,500 over five years for studying at a public university. 

The scholarship is need-based but is expected to be available to the majority of students attending college.  According to the MIStudentAid website, financial need is defined as an Expected Family Contribution (EFC) of $25,000 or less.

Dr. Deborah A. Snyder, President of St. Clair County Community College said, “The Michigan Achievement Scholarship will help more students pursue a college degree or certificate and start their careers with less debt, allowing for greater future economic and social mobility and prosperity.”
