State Financial Aid Programs
Students who are legal residents of the State of Michigan as defined by the Michigan Department of Education may receive aid from state programs. Eligibility for state student financial aid is determined through the submission of the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA). The current state application deadline for priority consideration is March 1 for first-time and continuing applicants. Consideration is given to applications received prior to June 14 and is based on availability of funds.

Limited funds are provided to independent students from Michigan enrolling for 3 to 11 credit hours. To qualify, students must be out of high school at least 2 years and demonstrate need.
Michigan Competitive Scholarships
Gift aid is available to Michigan residents attending either private or public colleges in the state. A qualifying score must be achieved on the national ACT exam and financial need must be established by filing the FAFSA. Students may only receive either the Michigan Tuition Grant or the Michigan Competitive Scholarship. Deadline for all students is March 1.
Michigan Tuition Grants
Gift aid is available to Michigan residents attending an independent non-profit Michigan college. Awards are based on financial need only. Application is made by filing the FAFSA. The deadline for the 2009/2010 award year was June 2009; however, students are ecouraged to file earlier.
