Wayne State University's Heart of Detroit Tuition Pledge covers up to the full cost of tuition and standard fees for eligible Detroit students admitted as first-time, full-time freshmen, renewable up to four years (a fifth is possible if a student is on track to graduate). There's no income cap and no minimum GPA -- students just need to be admitted to Wayne State, meet the Detroit residency or high school rule, and file the FAFSA on time each year. It covers tuition and fees only, not housing or books, and requires full-time enrollment (12+ credits) each fall and winter term.
