Grand Valley State University is joining several other colleges in Michigan with a free tuition offering.
Grand Valley State University is offering free tuition to undergraduate students in low-income families starting in the fall.
The Allendale-based university is rolling out the Grand Valley Pledge to students from six counties across Michigan where the school has a presence, including Wayne County, according to a Monday news release. The Grand Valley State University Detroit Center opened in 2013.
To be eligible, students must be accepted to the university, have an annual family income of less than $50,000 and file the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) form. Tuition costs not paid for through federal financial aid and scholarships will be covered by last-dollar institutional funding. The program applies to four years of full undergraduate semesters.
