About Michigan Students

If you're looking for information about higher education in Michigan (e.g., student demographics, enrollment, student debt, and even Michigan scholarships), you've come to the right place. Read below to learn more about what graduating high school seniors, along with other students pursuing a degree, can look forward to in the coming years.

Michigan Student Demographics

Michigan's student population is not only diverse in terms of ethnicity but also in socioeconomic backgrounds. Many students come from families with varying income levels, and some may be the first in their families to pursue a college education.

Michigan has a population of just over 10 million people. According to the U.S. Census Bureau, 31.1% of Michigan residents aged 25 and over have a bachelor's degree or higher, based on data from 2018 to 2022. In the 2022-3023 school year, approximately 487,000 students were enrolled in college in Michigan.

Of the students enrolled in college, approximately 74% were aged 24 and under. The data show that 240,017 were enrolled in community college statewide.

Enrollment and Degree Attainment in Michigan

Enrollment and degree attainment rates are indicators of educational success in Michigan. According to the most recent data from the Census Bureau, Michigan's overall enrollment rate for post-secondary education remains steady, with a high percentage of students attending community colleges and four-year institutions.

However, degree attainment rates present a more concerning picture. Michigan has struggled to match the national average (~37.7%) in terms of bachelor's degree or higher attainment. This issue underscores the importance of scholarships and financial aid programs in increasing access to higher education and supporting students throughout their academic journey.

Student Debt in Michigan

While scholarships and financial aid can alleviate the burden of student debt, it remains a pressing issue in Michigan. The average student debt in Michigan is above the national average. The rising cost of tuition, coupled with limited financial aid options, has contributed to this growing problem.

In the 2019-20 academic year, 58% of Michigan's college graduates had student loans, averaging $29,863 in debt. Of this, 19% was nonfederal debt, mainly from private loans, which affected 11% of graduates, carrying an average debt of $29,745. Most graduates, 80%, came from public colleges, while 20% attended private nonprofit institutions, which generally incur higher costs and debt levels.

Because of the prevalence of student loans among Michigan college students, it is important that they get scholarships in order to pay for their college education. Financial aid is more than possible! You can read more about finding Michigan scholarships below on Bold.org.

This rate exceeded the national average of 12.0 nurses per 1,000 people, but Michigan still falls behind many of its neighboring states. In order to help prospective nurses in Michigan, here are some scholarships for nursing students.

Merit-Based Scholarships

Michigan offers several merit-based scholarships that recognize and reward students for their exceptional academic achievements. These scholarships are highly competitive and often require a high GPA, standardized test scores, and a strong record of extracurricular activities.
