Student support and academic enrichment grants

The Department of Education Office of Elementary and Secondary Education awarded the Michigan Department of Education $42.801 million under the Student Support and Academic Enrichment Grants program (CFDA 84.424) on July 1, 2026.

The formula grant funds Michigan's state educational agency to increase the capacity of local educational agencies, schools, and local communities to provide students with access to a well-rounded education, improve school conditions for student learning, and enhance the use of technology to support academic achievement and digital literacy. The Michigan Department of Education must reserve at least ninety-five percent of the allocation for subgrants to local educational agencies and may use not more than one percent for administrative costs. Local educational agencies receiving allocations of $30,000 or more must conduct comprehensive needs assessments and dedicate not less than twenty percent of their funds to well-rounded educational opportunities, not less than twenty percent to safe and healthy students, and a portion to effective technology use. Agencies receiving less than $30,000 must fund activities in at least one of these three areas. Each subgrant to a local educational agency must be for a term of one year and in an amount of not less than $10,000.

Performance occurs in Lansing, Michigan with completion targeted for September 30, 2027.
