(April 17, 2025) \u2013 Yesterday, Sen. <b>Sean McCann<\/b> (D-Kalamazoo) joined Gov. Gretchen Whitmer and the Michigan College Access Network (MCAN) in announcing an exciting contest for students who complete their Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) for the first time. The new Ticket to Tuition sweepstakes encourages Michigan residents enrolling in college for the first time, especially high school seniors, to complete the FAFSA and lower the cost of college. By filling out the FAFSA, students can gain access to valuable financial aid opportunities such as the Michigan Achievement Scholarship and Community College Guarantee, programs that Sen. <b>McCann <\/b>helped champion in the state Legislature.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cCollege and skills training are keys to economic prosperity, which is why state financial aid opportunities such as the Michigan Achievement Scholarship and the Community College Guarantee are vital to Michigan families,\u201d said Sen. <b>McCann<\/b>. \u201cIt is critical that we do all we can to encourage students to complete the FAFSA and understand the financial aid they have earned through their academic careers so they can make informed decisions about their future.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The nearly $1 million in funds available for the Ticket to Tuition contest are a result of larger efforts spearheaded by Sen. <b>McCann <\/b>to help lower the cost of college and expand access to higher education statewide.
