Government could retract Promise Scholarship - Stephanie Steinberg, Michigan Daily

Michigan college students could be forced into an even more difficult financial situation — one that already includes increasing tuition rates for the state’s public universities and an economic recession — if the government passes a bill to eliminate the Michigan Promise Scholarship. The state House of Representatives is currently reviewing the bill, which would eliminate funding for the Promise Scholarship — a $140 million merit-based scholarship distributed to more than 96,000 college students in Michigan.
