Essential workers in Michigan would be eligible for free college under a new plan being proposed by Gov. Gretchen Whitmer.
The plan, modeled on the GI Bill, would pay for college for those frontline workers who don't have a college degree, Whitmer said in announcing it Wednesday. Those eligible would be workers "like the ones staffing our hospitals and nursing homes, stocking the shelves at grocery stores, providing child care to critical infrastructure workers, manufacturing PPE, protecting public safety, picking up trash or delivering supplies," the state said in the announcement.
