Michigan Freedom Academy Admission Requirements

Any high school student may apply to the Academy in their sophomore or junior year, if they:
  • have a desire to meet other future leaders
  • have a grade point average of 2.5 or better
  • are active in extra-curricular activities
  • plan to attend or are seeking the means to attend college
  • have transportation to and from Alpena*
  • have medical insurance** and must bring insurance card with them
  • want to experience a cost-free week of fun, mentorship, and camaraderie!

Prospective delegates may be nominated by recommendations from members of Michigan's congressional delegation, school guidance counselors, Michigan's V.F.W. posts, civil leaders, former Freedom Academy delegates, or by direct online application.

Delegates from the past year that are now juniors may attend a second session of the Freedom Academy if they bring one new delegate (never attended) with them.

*Please let us know if transportation to and/or from Alpena is preventing a delegate from attending. We may be able to help. Please call the Freedom Academy Hotline at 517-481-8285.

**All delegates must have current medical insurance to attend the Academy. If you do not have insurance, you may be eligible for coverage under the MIChild program. You will find information about MIChild and other possible insurance programs by going to www.Michigan.gov/mdch and at www.healthinsurancesort.com.
