Michigan State awards multiple scholarship levels to students based on academic achievement and financial need

The Police Officer’s and Fire Fighter’s Survivor Tuition Grant (STG) provides for the waiver of tuition at a Michigan community college or public university for the natural or adopted children and surviving spouses of Michigan police officers and fire fighters killed in the line of duty.

In partnership with the Michigan State Police, this program will teach young men and women about a career in law enforcement. If a student is interested about a career in law enforcement or is not sure, they should attend this program. Four college scholarships awarded to attendees that range from $500 to $1000.

The Tuition Incentive Program (TIP) is an incentive program that encourages eligible students to complete high school by providing tuition assistance for the first two years of college and beyond. To meet the financial eligibility requirement, a student must have (or have had) Medicaid coverage for 24 months within a 36-consecutive-month period as identified by the Michigan Department of Human Services (DHS).
