The State legislature, pursuant to P. A. 132 of 2009, did not provide funding for the Michigan Promise Scholarship for the current fiscal year 2009-10. Therefore, all Promise payments for all class years, beginning with the Class of 2007, are suspended. Students who are Promise qualifiers will not receive funds for this academic year. Funding for future years is uncertain at this time.
Students who are previous Michigan Merit Award recipients will receive their remaining eligible payments, as prescribed in the program regulations.
In addition, funding for the following financial aid programs was eliminated or reduced for the 2009-10 academic year:
