Assistance for Michigan residents.
The State of Michigan offers programs designed to provide students, who are Michigan
residents, with the means to meet their educational costs. To be considered for these
programs, a student must submit a Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA). It is important to note that funding for these programs may be limited, therefore,
we recommend that you file the FAFSA as soon as possible after October 1 for the upcoming
academic year.
