Over half a million Michigan staffers who worked diligently on the front lines of the pandemic are now being recognized for their sacrifice and efforts. The state is offering them the opportunity to go to college without paying tuition fees.

Michigan’s Futures for Frontliners program is offering higher education to 625,000 state residents who stepped up to help and provide support during the Stay Home, Stay Safe orders between April and June 2020. Extending beyond the field of medicine, staffers representing factories, nursing homes, delivery, retail, grocery stores, and sanitation are also eligible to apply.
