Student Program

You are encouraged to bring students ages 15-19 from your community to the Capital Conference.  Through the generosity of the Michigan Municipal League Foundation’s George D. Goodman Scholarship Fund, the attendance fee for student delegates has been waived.

Not only do we have a program tailored to the students, students also have the option of attending sessions on the regular agenda, or a combination of both.  In providing students their own agenda for the day, we hope to give them a better understanding of how local and state government work together.

The supervision of students and arrangements for travel and lodging (including associated costs) are the responsibility of the host municipality, school, or organization.  Students may not attend unsupervised.

Register students by completing the Student Registration Form.  Please complete only one form per attendee, but feel free to make as many copies as necessary.
