ACT OPTION FOR MICHIGAN PROMISE SCHOLARSHIP
The revised State School Aid Act (Public Act 268 of 2008) changes the MME in several ways. Perhaps the change most greatly noticed by students hoping to become eligible for installment payments of the Michigan Promise Scholarship is the requirement that schools administer the complete MME once and only once to each student.
Michigan law (Public Act 349 of 2008) now gives students the ACT Option of becoming eligible for installment payments by taking the national ACT test. Here's how it works...
- The student must FIRST take the complete MME and obtain MME scores (Level 1, 2, 3, or 4) in ALL of the MME subjects of Reading, Writing, Mathematics, Science, and Social Studies. If the student's MME scores are insufficient for installment payments of the Michigan Promise Scholarship, the student could then choose to take the national ACT.
- If the student were to then take the national ACT and score a Composite 21 or higher, the student would become eligible for installment payments, provided the student meets all other eligibility requirements established by the Michigan Department of Treasury.
***Students must take the national ACT before July 1 of the student's high school graduation year.
