Fall Barrier Removal - Growing Institutional Capacity Grant

The Barrier Removal - Growing Institutional Capacity Grant, offered by the Michigan Department of Lifelong Education, Advancement, and Potential (MiLEAP), provides funding to strengthen institutional systems to eliminate barriers for students struggling to meet their basic needs. The goal is to help postsecondary institutions develop supportive policies, practices, infrastructure, and community partnerships that will address and mitigate barriers to educational completion, particularly for low-income students and those in poverty. The grants range from $100,000 to $400,000 for projects lasting 1-3 years. The next application deadlines are June 7, August 16, and November 8.
