New Rule: Free Tuition at University of Michigan

6/20/2021

In 2018, University of Michigan at Ann Arbor started the "Go Blue Guarantee" program in which the University will pay a full tuition for four years for students whose parents have an income of $ 65,000 or less and assets below of $ 50,000. This was applied to Ann Arbor campus only. A couple of days ago, the University board of reagents extended this program to include the Flint and Dearborn campuses. The additional requirement for Flint and Dearborn campuses is that the student has to have a high school GPA of 3.5 or higher.
I hope this information and this new rule will benefit our current and future graduates at Genesee Academy. Jazakum Allah Khairan.
