MI STUDENT AID
Local scholarships provide the best odds due to the fact that they are open to a smaller group of students. Many of these local scholarships are provided through the community foundation in your county; check with teachers, guidance counselors and even Google to track down the best scholarships that could be right in your hometown. Our customer care unit is available to help students with their search too. With a simple phone call to 1-888-4-GRANTS, our team will look up scholarships based on where you live and what your interests are.

GENESEE OPPORTUNITY SCHOLARSHIP
The Genesee Opportunity (GO) stipend provides Genesee County high school graduates with money for college, career training, or certification licensing fees. To be eligible, you must reside in Genesee County, Michigan or on a property that is taxed by a Genesee County school district and be a graduate, from a high school in Genesee County. Graduates must be enrolled in an eligible training program or post-secondary educational institution and submit an application by the due date. The GO stipend can only be awarded one time and must be used within the first 12 months after graduation or GED completion.
The GO stipend is not based on income or grades, and is funded through a millage approved by Genesee County voters.
Important! All graduates who wish to use the GO Stipend must submit the application form. Ask Counselors what the deadline is for applying for the current year.
Once the completed application is received, Genesee Opportunity staff will verify the information provided to determine eligibility for the GO Stipend. Students who have already taken a qualifying assessment for certification at a training institution can call (810) 591-GCGO (4246) to discuss eligibility for reimbursement.
