Futures for Frontliners

Futures for Frontliners

What is Future for Frontliners?

Futures for Frontliners was a state scholarship program for Michiganders without college degrees who worked in essential industries during the state COVID‑19 shutdown in spring 2020 (April 1–June 30). The scholarship provided these frontline workers with tuition‑free access to their local community college to pursue an associate degree or a skills certificate, either full‑time or part‑time while they continued working.

Other opportunities to explore

You may be eligible for tuition-free community college with a similar state scholarship program called Michigan Reconnect. First launched in early 2021, Reconnect offers free in-district tuition at all 28 public community colleges and 2 Tribal colleges to Michigan residents who are 25 or older and do not have a college degree.
