Students who want to be given priority consideration for state of Michigan financial aid programs should submit their Free Application for Federal Student Aid – commonly known as the FAFSA – on or before March 1, according to the Michigan Department of Treasury.
The FAFSA is a critical step when applying for grants, scholarships and other forms of financial assistance. FAFSA submissions received at the federal processor on or before March 1 are given priority consideration for the Michigan Competitive Scholarship and Michigan Tuition Grant.
Students who wait to complete their FAFSA after the March 1 deadline may not receive all the financial aid they could have been entitled to receive.

“Paying for college can be a difficult and frustrating process without knowing where to begin,” said Robin Lott, Treasury’s executive director of the Office of Postsecondary Financial Planning. “Our team is knowledgeable and equipped with helpful resources to assist students and families through the financial aid process. Attending a Virtual College Financial Aid Night is a great place to start.”
Due to limited space, participants are encouraged to sign up for one session only. Registration can be completed by visiting the MI Student Aid website.
Administered by the state Treasury Department, MI Student Aid is Michigan’s go-to resource for finding the financial resources needed to pay for college.
