Program Clarification
Based on questions received, we have added further clarification in the Frequently Asked Questions for Michigan Achievement Scholarship eligibility:
Does the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) have to be completed and verified if required? What if a student possesses a Certificate of Completion?
Answer:
To be eligible for Michigan Achievement Scholarship, the FAFSA must be completed and verified if required. Subsequent Institutional Student Information Records (ISIR) will be loaded into MiSSG. Students possessing a Certificate of Completion must have a submitted FAFSA with a calculated Expected Family Contribution and all other verification excluding high school completion must be complete and verified.
EFC <= 25000 Report
Institutions can utilize the EFC <= 25000 report to identify 2023 high school graduates who meet the EFC requirement. This report is not a Michigan Achievement Scholarship eligibility list. Full program eligibility requirements can be found on michigan.gov/achievement.
This report includes students who meet the following conditions:
- Be assigned to your institution via being the first Michigan institution on the FAFSA School Choice section
- Have an EFC less than or equal to 25,000
- Have a high school graduation year (or its equivalent) of 2023 reported in MiSSG
