Community-based nonprofits are eligible grants recipients of the Quick Start, College Success (Amplify, Accelerate, and Go Big), Barrier Removal—Direct to Students, and Barrier Removal—Growing Institutional Capacity grants. (They are also eligible subrecipients if a college is the primary recipient.)
For College Success (Amplify, Accelerate, and Go Big) and Barrier Removal—Growing Institutional Capacity grants, the goal is institutional change at Michigan’s public and Tribal colleges to increase student success. An application will be successful when it can clearly describe how it will lead to embedded change at institutions. In most cases, applications will need to demonstrate that proposed projects reflect institutional priorities for college leaders, regardless of whether the college or a nonprofit partner is the applicant.
No, per the state policy language, public colleges are eligible, as well as community-based nonprofits working with a college or colleges, but independent colleges are not eligible.
