The Michigan Reconnect Program covers tuition for those 21 years or older without a college degree at the in-district resident rate. Additionally, the Ottawa County Gap Grant makes it possible for Ottawa County residents to attend GRCC tuition-free by covering the difference between in-district and out-of-district tuition.
