Michigan Achievement Scholarship Data Dashboard

What is the Michigan Achievement Scholarship?

The Michigan Achievement Scholarship is designed to help recent high school graduates in Michigan receive funds for continuing education. Eligible students could receive financial aid to attend a college or university. The scholarship offers three pathways:

  • The Community College Guarantee through the Michigan Achievement Scholarship helps students earn a skill certificate or associate degree at their local community college tuition-free.
  • The public or private university pathway offers up to $5,500 per year for up to five years to attend a Michigan public university, private college or university, or enroll in a four-year degree program at a Michigan community college.
  • The Michigan Achievement Skills Scholarship provides up to $2,000 per year for up to two years to earn an industry-recognized certificate.

What data is available in this Michigan Achievement Scholarship Dashboard?

This Michigan Achievement Scholarship Dashboard provides information on the number of students who are eligible, those who have been awarded, the total dollar amount that has been awarded, and the maximum amount that is expected to be awarded for the academic year based on the eligible students' preferred primary institution on the FAFSA (public, private, or community college). The maximum payable amount at public or private institutions is up to $5,500 per academic year. There is no stated maximum for attending a Michigan community college.

All data has been disaggregated by the Michigan House and Michigan Senate district, as well as the county of the student’s residential zip code. The number of students eligible will always be different from the actual number of students that end up receiving the scholarship due to student enrollment status, other scholarships/grants received that cover the cost of attendance, etc. For questions about Michigan Achievement Scholarship award rules, visit michigan.gov/achievement.
