The Detroit Regional Chamber, alongside Business Leaders for Michigan, the Grand Rapids Chamber of Commerce, the Michigan Chamber of Commerce, the Small Business Association of Michigan, and TalentFirst, recently sent a letter to the Michigan House to encourage codifying the Michigan Achievement Scholarship into statute, which would ensure a reliable framework with consistent accountability while preserving flexibility through the annual appropriations process.
The Michigan Achievement Scholarship is a program that helps individuals access and afford college or other programs, ensuring that the state’s students are qualified and prepared for the jobs of tomorrow.
Michigan’s prosperity depends on the skills of its workforce. Codifying the Michigan Achievement Scholarship is a vital step toward building a nation-leading talent infrastructure.
