Michigan Competitive Scholarship

The Michigan Competitive Scholarship program is available to undergraduate students pursuing their first degrees at an approved Michigan postsecondary institution. Students must demonstrate both financial need and merit and eligible applicants must take the ACT and achieve a qualifying score prior to entering college.
Application
Applicants must file the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA). Students who file by March 1 will receive priority consideration. Students are encouraged to file their FAFSA on the Web at www.fafsa.ed.gov. Paper forms are available from high school counselors and college financial aid offices. Students must file a renewal FAFSA every year to determine possible continued program eligibility.
Program Limits
Awards are restricted to tuition and mandatory fees. Awards may pay a maximum of $1,300 per academic year at a Michigan public university, or $2,100 per academic year at a Michigan independent college or university. Program eligibility ends when a student has received a baccalaureate degree, after completing the equivalent of 10 semesters or 15 terms, or when a student has been out of high school over ten years, whichever occurs first. Future awards are subject to available and approved funding.
Eligibility
* Demonstrate financial need
* Achieve a qualifying score on the ACT prior to entering college
* Enroll at least half time at an approved Michigan postsecondary institution
* Possess a high school diploma or GED certificate or meet the institution's Ability to Benefit Standards
