Community College Guarantee

Earn your degree debt-free!

In-district high school graduates from the 2023 and 2024 classes are eligible to attend WCC tuition-free as part of the Michigan Community College Guarantee. If you're 21-24, you may still qualify for free tuition through the Michigan Reconnect 21 Scholarship, but don't wait! The deadline to apply is November 15, 2024.

Whether you want to save money before transferring to a four-year college, or you want to earn a degree or certificate to land a higher paying job, WCC is going to help you get there. What makes WCC the best option?:

• It's easy to transfer from WCC to 4-year colleges in or out of state.
  • We're proud to be the leading transfer institution to the University of Michigan!
• With 130+ programs, nearly half offered online, we have something for everyone.
• Each student has a personalized success team ready to help you tackle challenges inside and outside of the classroom.
• More than 30 clubs, organizations, sports and e-sports.

Guarantee Scholarship Eligibility

You're eligible to attend WCC tuition-free if you:

• Have been a Michigan resident since July 1 of the previous calendar year.
• Graduated from a Michigan high school in 2023 or 2024.
• Are an in-district student.
  • If you're not in-district, you'll still receive scholarship dollars and will only pay the difference between in-district and out-of-district costs.
