Building Brighter Futures for Michigan Public School Students

At the SET SEG Foundation, our mission is simple: enable students to pursue enrichment opportunities that advance learning, leadership, and civic responsibility. We do this by providing the resources and financial support that Michigan public schools and their students need.

Through the generosity of our donors, the Foundation funds grants and scholarships that enrich the lives of Michigan public school students and improve the communities they live in.

As part of our mission, the SET SEG Foundation enables students to pursue enrichment opportunities that advance learning, leadership, and civic responsibility by providing services, scholarships, grants, and other forms of financial support directly to the Michigan public schools and students.
