In the 2009-10 school year, the MHSAA will once again be awarding sportsmanship mini-grants. Thanks to the generosity of MHSAA corporate sponsor, MEEMIC Insurance Company, the pool of grant dollars available to Michigan schools has been raised to $15,000.
This is a fantastic opportunity to take advantage of MEEMIC’s commitment to sportsmanship in educational athletics, and we encourage you to consider the following types of efforts in building grant-worthy programs:
- Programs and materials for junior high/middle school students and faculty.
- Programs and materials for high school team captains.
- Programs and materials for high school student cheering sections.
- Programs and materials for spectators.
- Programs for leagues & conferences.
MEEMIC and the MHSAA believe that the most effective sportsmanship efforts are the most local. Please think about what you can do that is new and better in 2009-10, and let us help you fund your local program.
Applications are available NOW (Word | PDF) on the sportsmanship page of MHSAA.com. Mini-grants ranging from $50 to $750 will be distributed throughout the year, but they can be approved immediately. There is no deadline for receiving applications. Applications are generally approved, and mini-grant funds distributed, within 45 days.
If selected as a recipient, a representative from your local MEEMIC agency will deliver the mini-grant check to your school.
For more information contact Andy Frushour at the MHSAA, or contact your local MEEMIC agent.
