For the past four years, the SET SEG Educational Foundation has provided scholarships to high schools to help them send students to the Michigan Association of Student Councils/Michigan Association of Honor Societies Summer Leadership Camp at Albion College. The camp helps promote leadership skills through the incorporation of communication training, team-building exercises and program planning and evaluation.

This year, the Foundation also gave $200 to each of the MASB Education Excellence Award recipients. The MASB Education Excellence Award program, sponsored exclusively by SET SEG, honors exemplary and innovative educational programs that foster school improvement. This year, 27 award-winning districts received financial assistance from the Foundation.

Established in 2005, the Foundation’s mission is to enable students to pursue enrichment opportunities that advance learning, leadership and civic responsibility. The Foundation achieves its mission by providing services, scholarships, grants and other forms of financial support directly to Michigan public schools. So far, the Foundation has presented more than $34,000 in scholarships and awards to Michigan public schools.
