Michigan Works West Central issued the following announcement on Sept. 10.
About 625,000 essential workers in Michigan who put in time during the height of the COVID-19 lockdown and don't have a degree are eligible for free college under a plan detailed Thursday by Gov. Gretchen Whitmer. For more information or to apply, visit https://www.michigan.gov/Frontliners.
The site notes that "if you enroll and attend your local, in-district community college, you’ll be able to get your degree tuition-free. That means you won’t pay any tuition, contact hours, or mandatory fees out of pocket."
The program is a $24 million investment funded by Governor’s Education Emergency Relief Fund — part of the federal CARES Act.
