Detroit Free Press: 625,000 essential workers in Michigan eligible for free college: What to know
Essential workers who worked during the height of the COVID-19 lockdown and don’t have a degree are eligible for free college.
This doesn’t just apply to medical workers, people who work in nursing homes, grocery stores, sanitation, delivery, retail, and manufacturing are among those who could qualify.
Today, I announced that we are launching Futures for Frontliners, the first program in the country offering tuition-free college to the Michiganders who provided frontline services during the COVID-19 Stay Home, Stay Safe orders between April – June 2020. pic.twitter.com/g6Y6qynxCk
