Michigan Great Lakes and environmental education leaders announced approximately $156,000 in funding to boost freshwater literacy programs and increase access to real-world STEM experiences for K-12 students.
This funding will support incorporating freshwater-focused field experiences and place-based, problem-based, and project-based ( 3-P Learning in Michigan ) approaches to engage students in learning about the importance of Michigan’s Great Lakes and water resources and prepare them for careers in STEM fields.
The Michigan Department of Environment, Great Lakes, and Energy (EGLE) will award up to $75,000 in $5,000-$10,000 grants to support implementation of student community-based water stewardship projects. EGLE also will provide approximately $81,000 in grants of up to $1,000 each to schools to reimburse transportation costs for field trips to freshwater ecosystems in Michigan during the 2026-27 school year.
“If we empower our youth today to find their voice and learn ways they can help protect our Great Lakes and watersheds, they will become tomorrow’s advocates and leaders,” said Emily Finnell, Great Lakes senior advisor and strategist in EGLE’s Office of the Great Lakes (OGL).
“As the Great Lakes state with more freshwater coastline than anyplace on Earth, Michigan must provide every student with access to place-based, experiential, water-focused education. These grants will enrich schools and communities throughout the state and cultivate a sense of stewardship for everyone involved.
