State officials hope for more applications by Dec 31 for essential workers scholarships

The application deadline for the state's Futures for Frontliners program is December 31, 2020. 
According to state officials, 100,000 essential workers have applied since the program was kicked off in early September. But officials hope even more will apply before the upcoming deadline.
The program offers free tuition towards an associate degree or industry-recognized certificate at community college. It also provides tuition to complete the requirements for a high school diploma.
Applicants must have worked in an essential industry during the state's COVID-19 shutdown in spring 2020 between April 1 and June 30.
Kerry Ebersole, director of the Office of Sixty by 30 in the Michigan Department of Labor and Economic Opportunity, said the program is a way to thank Michigan frontline workers who put themselves in harm's way early in the COVID-19 pandemic.
