Michigan scholarships from private foundations
55 scholarship programs run by private foundations based in Michigan — each page has the application contact, what to submit, the deadline, and who’s eligible, straight from the foundation’s own IRS filing. Most never appear on scholarship search sites.
A foundation’s home state doesn’t always decide who’s eligible — many restrict awards to one county or school, some are open nationally. Each page quotes the filing’s own restriction language.

Every listing on this site is compiled from the foundation’s own IRS Form 990-PF filing — the public record where foundations that accept applications must state who to contact, how to apply, any deadlines, and any restrictions. Filings are annual, so details can change between filings: always confirm the current deadline and requirements with the foundation before applying. This site is not affiliated with, authorized by, or endorsed by any foundation listed. Scholarship information here is free; we charge only for optional application coaching, and we never write your application for you.
