Explore current funding opportunitiesLEO-WD is pleased to announce the release of a second round of Request for Proposals (RFP) to support innovative approaches that lead to increased participant enrollment, retention, and completion of adult education programming. This funding opportunity was made possible by a $15 million investment in Section 107a of the State School Aid Act (Public Act 320 of 2023). The purpose of the funding is to pilot evidence-based and scalable innovations to equitably and effectively serve adult learners, including adults without a high school diploma or equivalency and English language learners. The innovation funding is intended to complement the additional $10 million allocated to increase capacity and strengthen the adult education system under Section 107 of the State School Aid Act.
For this second round of applications, there is approximately $5 million of funding available.
The innovations may include, but are not limited to, synchronous and asynchronous program delivery, wraparound supports for participants, alignment between adult education services and postsecondary education, colocation with Michigan Works! or community colleges, and high-quality professional development for adult education staff. The applicant must demonstrate how the proposed innovation builds off existing research and best practices to support achievement of the defined goals.
The 2025 Section 107a application (Adult Education Innovation Programs) will be made available in NexSys (Next Generation Grant, Application and Cash Management) by February 1, 2025, and the deadline for submission is by 11:59 p.m. EDT on April 8, 2025.
Questions regarding the application must be sent to LEO-AdultEd@michigan.gov.
