MME Interpretation      

Michigan Promise Scholarship

Public Act 479 of 2006 signed into law by Governor Granholm on December 21, 2006 provides up to $4,000 to high shool graduates for successfully completing two years of post-secondary education beginning with the high school graduating class of 2007.

To be eligible, students must take the entire MME and show valid test results for all MME components.

ACT Option

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...

1. 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.
2. 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.
