The Genesee Opportunity (GO) stipend provides Genesee County high school graduates with money for college, career training, or certification licensing fees. To be eligible, you must reside in Genesee County, Michigan or on a property that is taxed by a Genesee County school district and be a graduate, from a high school in Genesee County. Graduates must be enrolled in an eligible training program or post-secondary educational institution and submit an application by the due date. The GO stipend can only be awarded one time and must be used within the first 12 months after graduation or GED completion.

The GO stipend is not based on income or grades, and is funded through a millage approved by Genesee County voters.

Important! All 2021 graduates who wish to use the GO Stipend must submit the application form. 2021 Graduates must apply by May 15, 2022.
