Hello, MiLEAP is asking for Michigan libraries to ensure that Michiganders are aware of the Michigan Reconnect Scholarship opportunity so people in your communities can access affordable education, improve their career prospects, and contribute to the economic growth in both the state and your communities. The Michigan Reconnect Scholarship is an opportunity that provides a tuition-free pathway to community college for Michiganders who are 25 years or older and do not have an associate or bachelor’s degree. The scholarship allows individuals to earn an associate degree or skills certificate. MiLEAP would like to encourage you to access their Michigan Reconnect Scholarship Toolkit<https://www.michigan.gov/reconnect/toolkit> and here<https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/19IP2lHAF3xnhUWPDrKFPyf3jeVb1naNZ?usp=drive_link> are some additional informational flyers and images to use for promoting this wonderful opportunity out to your community. Please contact Michelle Cyrus, CyrusM@Michigan.gov if you have any questions. Thank you, Cathy Lancaster Youth Services Coordinator Library of Michigan 702 W.
