Anyone know how to obtain the Michigan Merit Award Scholarship?

Question

I recieved the Michigan Merit award my senior year of high school, and have to use it by this fall. I want to use it on an 8 week training course, for a "Patient Registration Specialist" class at Grand Rapids Community College. I found out that that school IS one of the schools I can use it on, but I dont know if it has to be used towards a degree? Because this is just a job training course, that is not credited. Does anyone know about this?

Set up a meeting with a Financial Aid advisor, that is what they are there for. Can probably answer your questions.

And

• Achieving a cumulative grade point average

(GPA) 2.5 (or for students who attend a vocational

institution that does not record grades, a certificate

of completion).
