Michigan Promise Scholarship Update
Surprise, surprise. The Michigan State Government is out of money. Did this just happen a year ago about this time? Seems like our illustrious government officials would have learned a few lessons and spent their time trying to find solutions rather than fighting and bickering. Oh well.
So the problem we have on hand now is that there is a bill on the floor of the Michigan House of Representatives to eliminate the Michigan Promise Scholarship. It has already passed the Senate. If you, or someone you know, is considering attending college in the next year or two you might want to sharpen your pencil and write a letter to your state-level rep voicing your opinion. And, just so you’re in the know, the reason they’re targeting this is because they want their share of federal stimulus money, and to get it they cannot cut direct aid to state universities and colleges. By cutting indirect aid, they still toe the line. Great.
So, to reiterate, if you’re concerned about this end-around by our elected officials, send them a letter or give them a call. Heck, send a note to Granholm while you’re at it and express your extreme displeasure at her inability to deliver on her campaign promises and subsequent abuse of Michigan high-school students.
