Grants awarded to GRCC

The GRCC Early Childhood Learning Laboratory was awarded Kent County Early

Childhood Millage funding totaling $671,553. Funds will support the continuation of

the Early Learning Communities play and learn groups, as well as an expansion to

additional sites that will offer year-round play and learn groups. Early Learning

Communities play and learn groups provide free, weekly 90-minute programs at

community sites. Play and learn groups are open to parents and caregivers of children

aged birth-5 years and they provide developmentally-appropriate play activities to

enrich the early learning experience of young children, which supports kindergarten

readiness. Play and learn groups also provide parents and caregivers with ideas to

replicate at home to extend learning outside of scheduled play group.

The Douglas & Maria DeVos Foundation awarded a grant of $240,000 in support of

the 2020 Summer Learning Academy, which will serve 100 rising sophomore high

school students. Students will be given initial cognitive assessments and assigned to a

success navigator. Using a college preparation theme, ALEKS will be used to deliver

math instruction. College visits and career exploration activities will also be provided.

The American Association of Community Colleges and All Within My Hands

Foundation awarded GRCC a grant of $50,000 for the Metallica Scholars 2.0i

initiative. The project will provide support for non-traditional students enrolled in the

welding training program. The program will subsidize the tuition and other costs

associated with training to make the program affordable. The meaningful involvement

of employers throughout the program for activities such as site visits, employee panels

and employee mentors will to help them determine if welding is a good fit for their

career desires, dreams and goals. Finally, each student will participate in individualized

career-preparation with GRCC job developers to ensure they are job ready upon

completion of their license to practice
