(2)A student shall include a written certification to the department in his or her application to receive a Michigan promise grant under section 5 that contains both of the following:

(a)His or her certification that he or she was awarded an associate's degree or a 2-year certificate of completion in a vocational education program, completed a comparable vocational training program approved by the department, or completed 50% or more of the academic requirements in a bachelor's degree program at an approved postsecondary educational institution.

(b)The name of the approved postsecondary educational institution at which the student was awarded the associate's degree or 2-year certificate of completion in a vocational education program, completed the comparable vocational training program approved by the department, or completed 50% or more of the academic requirements in a bachelor's degree program and the name of any other approved postsecondary educational institution the student attended if credits from that institution were transferred to and considered by the approved postsecondary educational institution in determining whether to award the student the associate's degree or 2-year certificate of completion in a vocational training program, whether the student had completed a comparable vocational education program, or whether the student had completed 50% or more of the academic requirements for the award of a bachelor's degree.

(3)A student shall include a written certification to the department in his or her application to receive a Michigan promise grant installment payment under section 6 that contains both of the following:

(a)His or her certification that he or she meets the requirements of section 4(3)(c)(ii).

(4)An approved postsecondary educational institution shall not consider a Michigan promise grant in determining a student's eligibility for a financial aid program administered by this state.
