HB 4521: Higher education: tuition; Michigan tuition grant program; modify. Amends secs. 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7 & 7a of 1966 PA 313 (MCL 390.991 et seq.).

HB 4521 modifies Michigan's tuition grant program for resident students at eligible nonprofit colleges. It sets limits: 10 semesters for undergraduate study (12 for 2020-2021 enrollees), 6 for graduate, and 8 for dental programs. The bill excludes students receiving Michigan Achievement Scholarships and those in theology programs, while requiring financial need assessment using criteria from another state aid program. Grants cover tuition/fees up to the college's annual cost or the student's financial need, whichever is lower, and prioritize full-time students.
