MI Fellowship Renewal Clarification-Continuous Full-Time Enrollment Status
Additional clarification is provided below regarding MI Fellowship renewal, specifically for the continuous full-time enrollment policy. The State Programs Procedures Manual will be updated soon to reflect this clarification.
To qualify for a 2024-25 MI Fellowship renewal award, a student must:
- Have maintained full-time continuous enrollment in an eligible EPP, as determined by the EPP, or the equivalent of full-time participation for individuals enrolled in an alternative certification program, excluding any period of time missed due to a medical or other emergency. The timeframe since the student received their initial MI Fellowship award should be used in determining full-time continuous enrollment.
- If the student’s initial MI Fellowship award was in 2022-23, the student must have completed 24 credits in 2022-23 and maintained full-time continuous enrollment beginning 2023-24 and thereafter.
- If the student did not attend the full 2022-23 Academic Year, the student will not need to be evaluated for continuous full-time enrollment until the end of their first full academic year.
- MI Fellowship recipients who have experienced a medical or other emergency in the prior academic year, which prevented them from meeting the continuous full-time enrollment requirement, will need to be marked as “No-Not Eligible” on the Confirmation of Eligibility list in MiSSG. Financial Aid professionals should direct students in this situation to reach out to MI Student Aid to request reconsideration of this determination and provide documentation to MI Student Aid as requested. Eligibility will be determined on a case-by-case basis, and changes in eligibility will be communicated via email to the institution.
