If you’ve been thinking about going back to school to pursue your associate degree or a skills certificate, now might be the time. We know you may have questions about going back to school, so we’ve included some resources here to help answer them for you. We’re eager to help you on this journey.
If you are 25 years or older, you may still be eligible for tuition-free community college. In February 2021, the state will begin accepting applications for Michigan Reconnect, a new state program that offers tuition-free community college to all Michigan residents who are 25 or older and do not have a college degree. Look for the Michigan Reconnect website in February 2021 to apply! Subscribe to our email updates to be the first to hear when the application becomes available.
If you are 24 or younger, you are not eligible for Reconnect. We encourage you to contact your local community college to see if you are eligible for other types of financial aid. Also, check Michigan.gov/SkillsToWork for other available skills training and continuing education opportunities.
