Ottawa County Gap Grant

Notice: No additional awards will be made

As of May 15, 2024, the available funding for the Ottawa County Gap Grant has been exhausted, and no additional awards will be made after the aforementioned date.  Students may contact the Financial Aid Office to explore other financial aid options.

You can increase your earning potential and expand your employment options by earning a tuition-free college degree from Grand Rapids Community College.

The Michigan Reconnect Program covers tuition for those 21 years or older without a college degree at the in-district resident rate. Additionally, the Ottawa County Gap Grant makes it possible for Ottawa County residents to attend GRCC tuition-free by covering the difference between in-district and out-of-district tuition.

  • Meet all Michigan Reconnect Scholarship eligibilities.
    • Be 21 years or older at the time of application.
