The mission of the Foundation is to enlarge the resources available to the school district which will foster and expand educational opportunities for programs impacting students by building effective collaborations.
The Foundation offers a powerful and effective vehicle for directing contributions to benefit public education in portions of Livonia and Westland, Michigan.
This is the last chance to enroll your kindergarten student in the LPS Education Foundation’s Competitive Edge Savings Program. Enrollment is due by February 1, 2024. In this free program, which was established in 2008, the Foundation designates enrolled students as beneficiaries of an educational savings account. The Foundation contributes seed money and those funds grow throughout the student’s LPS educational career. The Foundation manages this account and the parent(s) do not have to do anything beyond enrollment into the program. Upon graduation from an LPS high school, the student will receive information in their graduation packet about how to apply for the funds which may be used for any accredited post-secondary education or skills training program. This year, the Foundation is increasing the seed money to $125 per student!
