Tuition-Free College
Former presidential candidate and current U.S. Senator Bernie Sanders talked about tuition-free college. You may or may not agree with his ideas but at least he said it out loud and some colleges have found ways to actually make tuition lower and some tuition free.
The tuition-free model is available to in-state students only with families with incomes of $70,000 or less.
What Michigan College is Offering a Free Tuition Program?
According to WOOD, Wayne State University in Detroit announced a guarantee that it covers the full cost of tuition and standard fees that uses federal, state, and Wayne State scholarships and grants.
If you are a lower-income family and think college is out of the question for your kids, Wayne State may be the option for your children. If you have students who plan on attending college in the fall of 2023 you will need to apply for Federal Student Aid and also apply at Wayne State by April 1st to see if your student is eligible for the program.
