Higher education: tuition; Michigan tuition grant program; modify to permit grants to be awarded to individuals incarcerated in correctional facilities. Amends secs. 2 & 3 of 1966 PA 313 (MCL 390.992 & 390.993).

SB 675 proposes to amend Michigan's tuition grant program to allow financial aid to be awarded to individuals currently incarcerated in correctional facilities. The bill would modify existing eligibility rules, which currently exclude incarcerated students, to permit them to apply for grants if they meet other residency and enrollment requirements. Key provisions include maintaining the existing limit of 10 semesters for undergraduate grants and requiring students to make satisfactory academic progress to continue receiving aid. This change would directly affect incarcerated residents who are enrolled in independent nonprofit colleges or universities within the state.
