SB 382 Michigan Senate · 2025-2026 Regular Session

Higher education: financial aid; Michigan achievement scholarship; provide for. Creates new act. TIE BAR WITH: SB 0383'25

SB 382 creates the Michigan Achievement Scholarship Act, providing last-dollar financial aid to Michigan residents attending eligible community colleges, public universities, or private nonprofit institutions. The scholarship covers remaining tuition and fees after other gift aid (like Pell Grants) is applied, based on a student's financial need (SAI of $30,000 or less). It directly affects low-to-moderate income students who meet eligibility criteria, including filing the Free Application for Federal Student Aid. The program aims to make higher education more affordable by reducing out-of-pocket costs for qualifying students at participating Michigan institutions.
