Yes she does. According to Michigan.gov, “In her 2007 State of the State Address, Governor Jennifer Granholm announced the No Worker Left Behind (NWLB) free tuition program to help Michigan workers create a prosperous future.” The NWLB program includes up to two years free tuition at any Michigan community college, university or other approved training program.
