A record number of Michiganders are getting a college education.

Governor Gretchen Whitmer has announced that more than 56,000 students across Michigan are benefiting from no or reduced cost tuition through the Michigan Achievement Scholarship, which includes the Community College Guarantee and Michigan Achievement Skills Scholarship.

The governor says by reducing the cost and easing the burden of college debt, doors of opportunity are opening for students so they can chase their dreams right here in the state.
