High School Graduation After Award Year Process
At this time, the MiSSG system will display a "High School Graduation After Award Year" ineligible reason when a student has a graduation date after August of Academic Year 2023-24. A temporary process is in place to resolve this ineligible reason while we wait for the automated process to become available.
If a student's graduation has been verified between September 2023 - January 2024 prior to the students start of courses for the Winter/Spring term/semester:
Certification Process Frequently Asked Questions
-
For certification purposes, what is considered the standard amount for Michigan Achievement Scholarship when determining if a reduced award reason must be used?
- The standard amount in the Fall semester will remain half of the annual Minimum and Last-Dollar Awards (or one-third for institutions with terms). The standard amount in subsequent semesters/terms will adjust based on the total remaining amount for each student.
If a student did not exhaust their Fall award, they can use up to the total remaining annual award in the subsequent semester/term; if funds remain, they can also be used in a remaining subsequent term/semester within the academic year, including Summer.
Following Fall certification, the subsequent semester/term will update to include any remaining Fall funds, which then becomes the new “standard” amount for a student and therefore, a reduced reason must be used if you will not certify the full new amount.
- Why is a student not appearing on our certification roster when they have transferred to our institution?
- Students who transfer to your institution may have exhausted their annual amount of Michigan Achievement Scholarship at their previous institution. Institutions may view Payment History in MiSSG under the students record.
