Sec. 5.

(1) Subject to proration under subsection (2) and adjustment under subsection (3), a student who meets the eligibility requirement of section 4(3)(c)(i) and the other applicable eligibility requirements under section 4 shall receive a Michigan promise grant in the amount of $4,000.00.

(2) If a student satisfies the eligibility requirement contained in section 4(3)(c) by completing a vocational training program that as determined by the department generally requires less than 2 years or fewer than 1,800 clock hours, as applicable, to complete, the student shall receive a prorated amount of the amount described in subsection (1) that reflects the number of clock hours necessary to complete the program, as determined by the department.

(3) If in any fiscal year the department determines that the amount appropriated by the legislature for the payment of Michigan promise grants is not sufficient to pay each eligible student the Michigan promise grant amount required under this section for an academic year, the department shall adjust the amount of Michigan promise grants paid under this section by prorating the amounts as necessary to reflect the available resources and amounts appropriated in that fiscal year. The department shall notify the governor, the speaker of the house of representatives, and the majority leader of the senate in writing at least 30 days before implementing a proration under this subsection.
