History & Governance

Since 2005, the SET SEG Foundation has supported Michigan public schools by investing in the students and programs that shape strong communities. Through grants, scholarships, and vital resources, we’re helping schools enhance learning opportunities, cultivate student leaders, and inspire civic responsibility across Michigan.

The goal of the SET SEG Foundation is simple: to serve Michigan public schools and students with direct financial support. Through grants, scholarships and targeted funding, we help create opportunities that strengthen students and school communities statewide.
