The Lansing Promise provides students in the Lansing School District with scholarships to attend universities and earn bachelor degrees, with Central Michigan University joining the program as an eligible university.

The initiative is part of the university’s effort to establish a 60-year curriculum, which includes providing education for individuals at different life stages, from high schoolers to retirees.

The partnership will provide LCC students with expanded mental health and wellness resources, including immediate appointments with licensed counselors.

The grant comes from the Michigan Department of Labor and Economic Opportunity’s Michigan Industry-Driven Skills Training Program (MIDSTP) to expand advanced manufacturing training opportunities.

The two grants come from the National Science Foundation and from the National Wildlife Federation (NWF) and Mutual of Omaha’s Wild Kingdom.
