The opportunity to finish your college degree just got easier!
For a limited time, the Michigan Reconnect program, a tuition-free community college scholarship program, is expanding the qualifying
age limit from 25 and older to 21 to 24 – opening the opportunity for up to 350,000
Michiganders without a college degree to earn an associate’s degree or skills certificate
through one-time funding.
To be eligible, Michigan residents of one or more years, including already enrolled
community college students or potential students, must be at least 21 and not older
than 24 between October 1, 2023, and December 31, 2024, and have not already completed
a college degree.
Delta College is one of the 31 Michigan community colleges in partnership with the
State of Michigan to offer free in-district tuition to residents with a high school
diploma who are eligible to pursue a postsecondary education.
“The expansion of the Michigan Reconnect program to this age bracket helps fill a
significant need in the funding gap many Delta College students face. This is an amazing
opportunity for students to get started or get back on track with completing a degree
to help fill the local talent pipeline,” said Jason Premo, Delta’s associate dean
of enrollment management. “Because this expansion is only available for a limited
time, we stress that students take advantage of this opportunity and apply before
the application process closes.”
