-Join RaiseMe, a Wayne State partner, which allows high school students to log their achievements and activities to earn micro-scholarships.

-Receive admission to Wayne State University as a first-time, full-time freshman in fall 2020 or after.

“This is a tremendous day for Wayne State and for Detroit students,” Wilson said in a release. “This initiative aligns perfectly with many of our institutional values. Opportunity, accessibility and affordability are all pillars of the high quality education we provide, and the Heart of Detroit Tuition Pledge delivers on all those values. With the resources and opportunities on campus and the exciting resurgence in Detroit, it’s never been a better time to be a Warrior.”

“This pledge is Wayne State’s pledge to you, to the city of Detroit, and to Detroiters all over,” WSU Provost Keith Whitfield said during the announcement. “It’s our commitment to make Wayne State University affordable and accessible to anyone willing to work hard, to ask questions, and to explore all that our great university has to offer.”

“Wayne State’s commitment today is such an incredible gift, an incredible acknowledgement to the talent that is within this city, to ensure everyone has a real path to this opportunity,” Whitmer said during the announcement.
