Grant Assistance Program

West Michigan Minorities In Architecture / Engineering Consortium (WMMIAEC) is pleased to offer several financial assistance grants each academic year. Under this program, qualified ethnic minorities and women who are pursuing careers in the architectural, engineering and scientific disciplines may be eligible to receive a $2,000 grant, payable to the educational institution in which they are enrolled.

The educational grant may be renewed for qualified recipients on an annual basis for a maximum of four years. Applications for the Grants are reviewed on a quarterly basis; however, we are always collecting applications for the next academic year.
