MiLEAP

We are excited to announce, effective December 1, 2023 MI Student Aid (also known as Student Scholarships, Grant and Outreach) has been moved from the Michigan Department of Treasury to the Michigan Department of Lifelong Education, Advancement, and Potential (MiLEAP). This new department will focus on early learning and higher education to improve long-term student outcomes, develop talent to fill in-demand jobs, and grow the economy. The Governor announced Michelle Richard as MiLEAP's acting director.
Although our work with you and your students and families won't change, this is an exciting opportunity for MI Student Aid and the Office of Sixty by 30 who will both now be working together for the Office of Higher Education in MiLEAP.
