MSGCU Awards More Than $50,000 in Classroom Cash Grants to Southeast Michigan Educators

Michigan Schools and Government Credit Union (MSGCU) is awarding more than $50,000 in Classroom Cash Grants to 70 educators representing 57 schools across Southeast Michigan.

Each recipient will receive up to $750 to support innovative classroom projects focused on areas including math, science, literacy, social and emotional learning and physical education. Since the program launched more than 20 years ago, MSGCU has awarded more than $800,000 to schools and helped fund nearly 1,400 unique projects.

“Giving back to educators through Classroom Cash Grants allows us to support students in the communities we serve and honor our educational heritage,” said Steve Brewer, MSGCU President/CEO. “Investing in local schools through grants ensures teachers have the tools they need to enhance the academic experience and bring innovative curriculum to life.”

This year’s projects include new watercolor supplies for students at Liberty Middle School in Canton, braille books and enrichment materials for students served by Macomb Intermediate School District Special Education and rocket kits that will allow East Middle School students in Farmington Hills to put Newton’s Laws of Motion into action.

Classroom Cash Grants winners are determined through votes from MSGCU members and school communities, including teachers, parents, colleagues, family members and friends. Nearly 90,000 votes were cast during this year’s 11-day public online voting period.
