Michigan FY2027 Re-enrollment Services Grant
The Michigan Department of Lifelong Education, Advancement, and Potential (MiLEAP) is accepting grant applications from public and Tribal higher education institutions for projects that support adults returning to college, persistence, and credential completion. Eligible institutions include Michigan community colleges, Tribal colleges, and public colleges and universities.
Funding and deadline
The official program page lists up to $200,000 and a grant term of approximately twelve months ending December 31, 2027. Applications are due November 19, 2026 at 3:00 p.m. Eastern Standard Time (EST). MiLEAP’s October 22, 2026 official announcement explicitly confirms the time zone.
Program and restrictions
MiLEAP’s official October 22, 2026 funding announcement confirms that the grant supports vendor-contracted personalized outreach and coaching for adults who stopped attending college or expansion of existing vendor-supported re-enrollment services. The separate webpage’s funding-description sentence appears to refer to student food insecurity rather than this program, so applicants should follow the controlling application document for exact allowable activities, budget limits and cost sharing.
How to apply
Use the application document linked from the official MiLEAP Re-enrollment Services page. The official page limits the application narrative to 15 pages and requires a Pre-Award Risk Assessment Questionnaire. Submit to MiLEAP-OHE-GrantsApply@michigan.gov before the deadline. Written questions are due November 10, 2026 at noon. Confirm requirements and any agency clarification on eligible uses and amounts before applying.
