2025-001 - Miscalculation of Reconnect Scholarship Awards. Auditor Description of Condition and Effect. For 3 out of 12 students tested, the incorrect amounts of Michigan Reconnect scholarships were calculated and awarded to students. As a result, the College had a total of 16 students whereby the Michigan Reconnect scholarships awarded during the fiscal year were miscalculated, resulting in $16,101 in under-awarded scholarships and $288 in over-awarded scholarships to students. The College corrected under-awarded scholarships by adjusting student accounts to reflect accurate award amounts and issued refunds to students as applicable on March 18, 2026. The college corrected over-awarded scholarships by adjusting the student accounts and updating the Michigan Student Scholarships Grants ("MiSSG") reporting system to refund MiLEAP on August 6, 2025. Auditor Recommendation. We recommend that the College implement a formal review process for Michigan Reconnect scholarship award calculations, ensuring that each calculation receives a second, independent review to verify its accuracy. Corrective Action. The College recalculated the awards for the students impacted, adjusted their student accounts, notified the students of these corrections and returned $288 in over-awarded scholarships to MiLEAP by updating the MiSSG reporting system. Additionally, the College plans to conduct additional training of stafff on the Michigan Reconnect Expansion program, including the last-dollar calculation methodology, and will implement a review of the calculations by a second individual of all disbursements.
