Researchers at the University of Michigan and Michigan State University – in collaboration with the Michigan Department of Education – will use a five-year, $5.9 million grant to assess two education reforms designed to promote college attendance and workplace success.
U-M’s Gerald R. Ford School of Public Policy received the grant from the U.S. Department of Education’s Institute for Education Sciences to study the effects of the Michigan Merit Curriculum and the Michigan Promise Scholarship on student outcomes. Researchers from the Ford School and U-M’s School of Education will work with investigators at MSU’s College of Education on the project.
