There's one key limit on the students: they will only pay for tuition at any of Michigan's state colleges or universities. So no free rides to Harvard... or Oh

There's one key limit on the students: they will only pay for tuition at any of Michigan's state colleges or universities.
So no free rides to Harvard... or Ohio State.
Edit: I didn't mean to imply that Michigan has bad schools. Simply noting that this offer requires families to set up roots in the town and it also requires that the students go to college in state. Not saying it's a positive or negative, just a two-fold geographic limitation designed to stimulate the local and state economies.
- HarryHirsch 14y agoMichigan State isn't half bad. The cynic in me finds it strange to see a university with national reputation in the list.
- disc 14y agoNot to be too biased (I grew up and attended school in Michigan) but I fail to see this as a significant limitation. Interested in technology? Attend Michigan's top-ten engineering school. Decent student at a less than stellar highschool? Michigan State probably has something you're interested in. Want to be a teacher? Western has you covered. I never felt needy for options while looking at universities in the state of Michigan.
- ChuckMcM 14y agoHey, one my daughters is going to school in Michigan (Hope College) :-) More seriously though, since daughter #3 is college shopping, we've been talking about various colleges. Michigan has a lot of great schools, for a variety of students and for a variety of majors. So it's not a 'limit' in any sense of the word.
