What AI and computer science education funding is available in Michigan?

Start with the Michigan Department of Education STEM/CS Competitive Grants, which are specifically designed for K-12 CS education in Michigan. Combine with Michigan 21st CCLC if you run after-school programs. Title IV-A and Title I formula funds are available immediately without a competitive application.

Does Michigan have AI literacy requirements for K-12 schools?

Yes. Michigan Public Act 113 of 2023 requires K-12 computer science education and establishes statewide CS standards. This mandate gives every Michigan school a policy foundation for grant applications and a clear framework for building CS programs.

What grants can Michigan schools use for coding and STEM tools?

Michigan DOE STEM/CS Competitive Grants are the strongest state-level entry point. For corporate grants, Ford Fund and General Motors Foundation both have strong Michigan presence. DTE Energy and Consumers Energy are active local funders. NSF CS for All is the best federal competitive option.
