The two schools said Monday the program gives preference to students who are the first in their family to attend college, graduated from a low-income high school, are eligible for Pell grants or express interest in a high-need medical specialty.
Three students will be accepted each year. Similar programs operate between Michigan State and Northern Michigan, Michigan Technological,and Grand Valley State universities.
