LANSING, MI (April 23, 2025) |
Michigan K-12 schools have until April 30 to apply for LAFCU’s Innovation for Education (LIFE) grant, which will award $10,000 to one school for upgrades that enhance the learning environment. The grant can be used for projects such as flexible seating, updated technology, equipment upgrades, or special initiatives like a school garden or sensory room.
Now in its second year, the grant underscores LAFCU’s commitment to education by helping schools create more engaging and enriching spaces for students and staff.
“Schools often have big ideas but limited budgets,” said Shelia Scott, LAFCU’s community financial education and business development officer. “Through this grant, we hope to help educators bring meaningful projects to life that create inspiring, student-centered spaces where learning can truly thrive.”
To apply, entrants must submit an online application, including a link to a short video—between three and five minutes—explaining how the funds would be used and the impact they would have on students and staff. The winning school will be announced May 15.
Applications are open to all Michigan K-12 schools, and may be submitted by teachers, administrators, parent-teacher organizations, or school councils and clubs.
