*Grow Your Own (GYO) Grant Application CORRECTION and UPDATES* 

*Application:* 


* Future Proud Michigan Educator GYO Staff applications are now open and can be accessed via GEMS/MARS.
* *Applications will be accepted until January 31, 2023*.  Please note: our previous newsletter featured a misprint deadline of March 3, 2023. This was an error and applicants should be assured that the deadline for the grants remains January 31st. Should there be additional funding available after the January deadline, the grant will be reopened for new applications. March 3, 2021 denotes the beginning of the obligation period for the federally funded portion of the grant.
