TRAVERSE CITY — Front-line workers may receive a scholarship to attend NMC free of charge starting in January through the Futures for Frontliners program unveiled today by Governor Gretchen Whitmer.<\/p>\n

Futures for Frontliners offers Michiganders who worked in essential industries during the April 1–June 30 period but do not have a college degree free tuition to their local community college. They may pursue an associate degree or a skills certificate on a full-time or part-time basis while they continue to work.<\/p>\n

Those without a high school diploma or equivalency are eligible for services to help them prepare for and complete this credential and go on to a community college or job training program. The application period runs through December 31, 2020, with enrollment available beginning in January of 2021.<\/p>\n

Essential industries <\/a>include health care, financial services, food and agriculture, law enforcement and first responders, water and wastewater, transportation and more.<\/p>\n

“Providing these front-line workers in essential industries with access to tuition-free community college — even if they don’t have a high school diploma or equivalency — to pursue their career and personal dreams is a wonderful way to say ‘thank you’ — they certainly earned it,” NMC President Nick Nissley said.<\/p>\n
