Granholm's Proposed Scholarship

Governor Granholm wants to eliminate the MEAP scholarship ($2,500) and put in place a $4,000 scholarship. This would start with the high school class of 2007. To be eligible the students would have to complete 2 years of post secondary education. A few articles that I have browsed about are listed below:

This is from the ProQuest website. This is about all the different scholarships and figures on how much money is allocated to this program.

This article is about how education is the key for the future change. Granholm stated: "Experts across the country agree that investing in education is the single most effective strategy for stoking a state's economic growth. That's why our schools and our kids are the foundation of our state's economic plan."
