Michigan Community Foundations
Almost every community foundation in Michigan offers scholarships for local residents. Take a look at Michigan Community Foundations to help identify your local community foundations.

Michigan’s Higher Education Student Loan Authority announced Tuesday that it would suspend its alternative loan program, citing the agency’s expected difficulties in borrowing the money needed to finance future private loans because of the “credit crunch” affecting the U.S. capital markets. Officials of the Michigan agency said that the Michigan Alternative Student Loan Program, known as MI-Loan, provided about $68 million in private loans to 8,500 students at Michigan public, private and for-profit colleges in 2007. Agency officials said they had not seen any impact thus far of the credit crunch on the Michigan authority’s federal guaranteed loan program. Michigan Newswire, February 13, 2008.

Alger Association Scholarships (Horatio)
http://www.horatioalger.org/scholarships/
The Horatio Alger Association of Distinguished Americans has a long-standing history of helping young people from across the nation triumph over adversity. Through educational programs and services, the Association works with secondary school students who have experienced some of our society's harshest realities. For the most part, nurturing and forgiving environments are strangers to these students; they are much more familiar with the uglier side of life--crime, substance abuse, poverty, homelessness, disabling medical problems. These are the students from the inner cities, the broken homes, the students often with little or no parental role models, and even less financial support. These are students who would not be able to attend college without the support of the Horatio Alger Association. In addition to a National Scholarship Program, the Association also offers state programs in California, Delaware, District of Columbia, Florida, Idaho, Indiana, Iowa, Kentucky, Louisiana, Maryland, Minnesota, Montana, Nebraska, Pennsylvania, South Dakota, Texas, and Virginia. Restricted to high school seniors.

"All students, regardless of financial need, are eligible for some type of financial assistance. The assistance may be in the form of a loan or multiple loans that must be repaid, but a quality education is the wisest investment you will ever make. An often quoted statistic in the higher education community is that a college degree equates to nearly $1 million more in lifetime earning potential than someone with a high school diploma! That’s significant and worth the cost. The single most important thing a new college student or parent of a new college student can do to prepare financially is to make a budget. Making a budget requires knowing two things: 1) how much is college going to cost? and 2) how much money do I have to cover these costs? Our section titled How Much is this Going to Cost? can help you answer the first question. Every school will cost something different. Our Cost of Attendance worksheet will help you start putting some real costs together and start you on your way to a sound financial plan."
