Nonparticipating /Private College and Universities Agreement

The Detroit Compact tuition assistance program is a collaboration between the Detroit Regional Chamber, public and private universities and Detroit Public Schools.  The majority of the funding for scholarships comes from the universities themselves.  Participating public universities guarantee that all tuition and fees will be covered for eligible students.  Participating in-state private schools may work with students on an individual basis but DO NOT guarantee that all tuition and fees will be covered, although they typically put together very generous aid packages. Private institutions do not accept transfer students.

In your case, you have chosen to attend ______________________, a private institution. Therefore the Detroit Compact Program will not be responsible for any short fall in your tuition that may be caused by the university’s method of allocating funds. Compact will send $500.00 each year (not to exceed 4 years) as long as you maintain a 2.5 GPA and are full-time (12 credit hours or more.)

In your case, you have decided to attend ______________________. This is a nonparticipating out of state institution. Compact will award a scholarship in the amount of $500.00 the first and second years only as long as you maintain a 2.5 GPA and are full-time (12 credit hours or more.)

If you attend ________________________, you will need to find other resources to assist with your tuition.  We have agreements with Michigan public universities that may fulfill your tuition assistance needs.  Please provide a parent and student signature to this letter along with your completed packet and return to the Compact Coordinator assigned to your school. If you have any questions, please contact:
