Lake Michigan College

Description of the program

Lake Michigan College announced Tuesday the creation of LMC Promise, a free tuition program for new and returning students beginning in Fall 2022.

The last-dollar program covers tuition costs of eligible in-district students who are high school graduates through age 24, meaning it pays the remaining tuition costs once other grants and scholarships have been applied.

The program is designed to meet the funding gap between high school graduation and eligibility for the Michigan Reconnect program at age 25.                                                                       

Like the free-tuition pilot program, LMC Promise is a last-dollar program, which means it covers any remaining tuition balance for eligible students after federal and other grants and scholarship dollars have been applied. The LMC Foundation will fund the balance through existing scholarship dollars and other monies raised. The LMC Promise does not cover additional costs such as books or housing. 

Qualifications

Who is eligible?

With the LMC Promise, tuition — up to 80 credit hours or 6 years — will be free for new and returning students who meet the following criteria:  

• Submit an LMC admissions application
• Age 24 or younger
• U.S. citizen or eligible non-citizen
• Residents of LMC’s district
• Earned a high school diploma from an in-district high school, are an in-district home school graduate, or an in-district resident with a high school equivalency
• Completed the Free Application for Federal Student Aid
• Family’s Adjusted Gross Income is $75,000 or less
• Are pursuing a financial-aid eligible degree or certificate at LMC
• Do not have an associate or bachelor’s degree      

The state of Michigan’s Futures for Frontliners and Reconnect programs sparked the idea for the LMC Promise. While Frontliners was a short-term stop-gap initiative to help frontline workers achieve their educational goals, the Michigan Reconnect program continues to offer free community college tuition for students who are age 25 or older if they have a high school diploma or equivalent and haven’t already graduated from college.

The Lake Michigan College Promise will put young Michiganders on tuition-free paths to good-paying jobs, help local small businesses find talent, and uplift working families,” said Michigan Gov.
