| Meet the eligibility requirements for receiving the Michigan Merit Award? |
The Michigan Merit Award Act sets forth general eligibility requirements. The Michigan Merit Award Board is responsible for establishing specific eligibility requirements and determining whether they have been met.
To be eligible, a student must take the MEAP High School Tests in mathematics, reading, science, and writing. Students who score at Level 1 (Exceeded Michigan Standards) or Level 2 (Met Michigan Standards) on these four tests and meet all other eligibility requirements will qualify to receive a $2,500 Michigan Merit Award.
For a student who takes all four of the above-specified subject tests, meets or exceeds state standards on at least two, and meets all other eligibility requirements, there are two alternate ways to qualify:
- Alternate A: The student also scores in the 75th percentile or above on the ACT or SAT.
- Alternate B: The student also achieves qualifying scores on the ACT Work Keys job skills assessment test as determined by the Michigan Merit Award Board.
Please note that under both Alternates, the student must take all four of the above-specified MEAP subject tests and achieve Level 1 or Level 2 on at least two.
