Learn more about the Michigan Impact Scholarship and New Beginnings Scholarship below.

Michigan Impact Scholarships

The Michigan Impact Scholarship was created through a partnership with Cleary University. This year, one Michigan Impact Scholarship is available, and worth full tuition at Cleary University. Students can attend any Cleary University campus (Howell, Ann Arbor, or Detroit) or take classes online. Special consideration is given to those who plan to contribute to the local economy after graduation. View full scholarship guidelines here.

New Beginnings Scholarships

The New Beginnings Scholarship supports those who are interested in pursuing a skilled trade or technical career (ex: electrical, HVAC, construction, welding, plumbing, nursing, EMT etc.). Employers in these categories are facing shortages and jobs are in high demand. This year, up to four New Beginnings Scholarships are available, and are worth up to $7,500. Funds can be used for tuition, tools for your trade, professional fees, or dues. View full scholarship guidelines here.

More funding options to pay for school.

The world is filled with opportunities. And now it’s your turn to take a chance on the future. So, let’s work together to prepare your finances for school. Through our partnership with CU Student Choice, simple financing options are available. If you’re not sure where you’re attending yet, you can still prepare and apply for a private education line of credit. Then, request the exact amount of funding that you’ll need later. That’s the power of planning ahead.
