University of Michigan's president Dr. Mark Schlissel announced that the university plans to offer free tuition for Michigan students with family income of less than $65,0000 per year.
Schlissel made the announcement at the University Board of Regents meeting on Thursday, June 15, 2017.
The university's public affairs office says the program will be called the "Go Blue Guarantee." They say it will cut through the complexities of financial aid to help the university reach talented and high achieving students from communities all over Michigan. A goal of the Go Blue Guarantee would be for all qualified students to feel that going to the University of Michigan is within their financial reach.
We are working to find out more details on the program and will update the story with more information as it becomes available.
