Quick Start Grants
This funding opportunity provides financial support to educational institutions and nonprofit partners in Michigan to assess and improve their strategies for enhancing student experiences and success.
The Quick Start Grants, offered by the Michigan Department of Lifelong Education, Advancement, and Potential (MiLEAP), provide funding for institutions to undergo action-oriented assessments to strengthen their student experience strategies and remove institutional barriers to student success. The grants aim to prepare institutions for larger College Success or Barrier Removal grants by funding projects that improve grounding in student data, elevate student voices, and foster strategic planning. Grants range from $50,000 to $75,000 for projects lasting 6-8 months. Eligible applicants include community colleges, tribal colleges, public colleges and universities, and nonprofit organizations partnering with these institutions. Applications are accepted through multiple windows, with specific deadlines in March, May and July.
