The issues with MiSSG have been fixed. You can certify Michigan Achievement Skills Scholarship students who qualify for the 2024-25 year. Please note, these students must have attended three weeks (or completed their programs) for you to certify. You must have documentation of their Michigan high school diploma (or equivalency), and a copy of a state issued ID.
The Michigan Achievement Skills Scholarship is only for tuition charges. Training providers should only certify students for cost of tuition up to $2,000.
Additionally, students receiving the Michigan Achievement Skills Scholarship should not be charged a different rate than students not receiving the scholarship.
Please join us for a training on the Michigan Achievement Skills Scholarship for Academic Year 2025-26 on Wednesday September 10, 2025, at 3:00 p.m.
We are working with our partners from the Michigan Talent Connect Website to update program information for the 2025-26. You will receive an opt-in email when the annual review is complete if one or more programs remain eligible.
You will need to opt in at that time to participate in the 2025-26 academic year.
The budget for the State of Michigan, which includes the appropriation for this program, has not passed. This will delay 2025-26 certification and payments. Training providers will not be able to certify 2025-26 payments until November.
Students who complete their program prior to September 9th cannot be certified in the 2025-26 academic year.
We will request training providers include their current program costs and prior two-year programs costs in order to participate.
For students who graduate from high school in Michigan with a diploma or certificate of completion or achieved a high school equivalency certificate in 2023 or after.
The scholarship provides up to $2,000 for students to attend an eligible Career Training program tuition in Michigan, per year, up to two years.
Students cannot receive the Michigan Achievement Skills Scholarship in the same academic year they receive the Michigan Achievement Scholarship for the Community College Guarantee.
Training providers will be expected to participate in program monitoring. Monitoring will begin this month. Each training provider will be notified individually when they have been selected to participate in program monitoring.
Training providers must provide documentation for students who received our scholarship at that time.
During monitoring, our team will be collecting documentation that demonstrates a student was eligible to receive our scholarship and that the scholarship was applied to eligible tuition charges.
