MI Reconnect

If you're age 21 to 24, don't miss the chance to earn your tuition-free degree or certificate through Michigan Reconnect. NOTE: Eligible Michigan residents 25 and older may still enroll as part of the original Reconnect program.

• Now, for a limited time, more Michigan residents, including already enrolled community college students or potential students ages 21 to 24 who have not yet earned a college degree, can enroll in Michigan Reconnect, a tuition-free community college program previously limited to those 25 and older.
• Now is the time to enroll because the Reconnect expansion is for a limited time and is a result of Gov. Whitmer working with the Legislature to designate an additional $70 million to temporarily expand the program and help more people and businesses "make it" in Michigan.
• The application window closes Friday, Nov. 15, 2024, at 11:59 p.m. EST.

Who can apply?

• To be eligible for the Michigan Reconnect Expansion, students must be at least 21 years of age and not more than 24 years of age between Oct. 1, 2023, and Dec. 31, 2024, and have not yet completed a college degree.
• Students must also have completed the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA); have earned a high school diploma or equivalent (GED) or certificate of completion; and have lived in Michigan for at least a year.

How do I apply?

• Apply for Reconnect by Nov. 15, 2024.
