State & National Reports
Michigan in Context

National Association of State Student Grant and Aid Programs (October 2016)
NASSGAP's annual analysis shows that states increased their investment in need-based grant aid by 63.3 percent between 2005 and 2015, whereas in Michigan the increase was just 4.4 percent. Michigan also ranked 40th in the nation in FY2015 for student grant aid per capita.
 
National Center for Educational Statistics (September 2016)
The latest projections from the federal government estimate that Michigan will suffer a 12.1 percent drop in high school graduates between 2012 and 2025. This trails just four other states, all in New England.
 
Campaign for Free College Tuition (September 2016)
The report estimates that Michigan would have to replace $720 million in tuition revenue from community colleges and public universities by phasing in just one cohort of students with free postsecondary education. Michigan would need to make up $2.52 billion in order to make college free for all students immediately.
 
American Association of State Colleges and Universities (October 2016)
AASCU provides a round-up of various higher education policy issues facing states this fall in this short brief.
