"Brandy Johnson, president of the #Michigan Community College Association, praised the governor’s proposal, saying in a statement that it would help remove financial barriers that 'make attaining a #postsecondary education seem impossible,' for many high school graduates.
"Under Whitmer’s proposal, eligible students must have lived in Michigan for the year prior to enrollment, must have a high school diploma and must not have previously completed a college degree. Students would have up to three years to obtain their associate’s degree."
