Find out if you’re eligible for Michigan Reconnect
Michigan Reconnect covers the cost of in-district tuition. There are a few basic requirements you must meet to be eligible for the Michigan Reconnect program - and your previous GPA and past course grades is not one of them.
Requirements
Student Eligibility
- Must complete and submit a Reconnect scholarship application on the LEO Reconnect website Michigan.gov/Reconnect
- Must be a Michigan resident. An applicant must have maintained continuous Michigan residency for at least the immediately preceding year.
- For Reconnect purposes, the student is considered meeting this criterion if they can verify that they have been a Michigan resident for at least one year by the start of the semester.
- Must be 21 years of age or older at the time of application. If a student is ineligible because they are less than 21, they can re-apply once they reach their 21st birthday.
- If the student is already enrolled, they must be at least 21 by the start of the semester for funding to be applied for the semester.
- Must have graduated from high school with a diploma, a certificate of completion, or a high school equivalency certificate.
- For Reconnect purposes, self-certification (on the Reconnect scholarship application) of high school completion is acceptable but should be federally verified if required.
- Must not have previously earned an associate or baccalaureate degree.
- If the student has a credential from another country, the credential should be evaluated. If, upon evaluation, it’s determined their credential is not the equivalent of an associate degree, the student could be eligible for the scholarship program.
As long as you meet these requirements, past satisfactory academic progress (SAP) is not required for the Michigan Reconnect program.
