HANCOCK, MI (AP)-- A college in the Upper Peninsula is extending a significant tuition discount to students who come from a local high school.
Graduates of Hancock Central will pay no more than $2,500 a year to attend Finlandia University. The agreement between the Hancock district and Finlandia began in 2009. Besides tuition, the agreement includes sharing certain properties.
