Michigan Reconnect: free or reduced tuition for adults 21+

GRCC's site promotes Michigan Reconnect, described as offering free or reduced tuition for adults 21+. Recent GRCC news notes that the program has expanded opportunities for GRCC students, with state data showing significant wage gains for graduates. If you qualify by age, this is worth checking before assuming you must pay full tuition.

How to proceed

  1. Go to the Pay for College section on grcc.edu.
  2. If you need to know the cost, open Tuition & Fees.
  3. If you need help covering the cost, open Financial Aid & Scholarships.
  4. If you have a billing or payment question, go to Student Financial Services.
  5. If you are 21 or older, review the Michigan Reconnect information linked from the GRCC homepage.

The exact aid amounts, deadlines, and eligibility rules are not stated in the material here, so confirm them on the linked GRCC pages or with Student Financial Services before relying on any figure.
