MLSC Education and Workforce Grant Program

MLSC's Education and Workforce Grant Program funds Massachusetts organizations that develop, enhance, and expand life sciences education from elementary school through post-secondary study. It sits inside MLSC's human-capital funding and serves public schools, districts, nonprofits, academic institutions, and municipalities. The program is organized into four categories: Elementary and Secondary Education for grades 3-12, Out-of-School Time Education for K-12, Post-Secondary Education and Training, and Gamechanger Workforce Development Projects. Typical uses include equipment, materials, supplies, technology, teacher professional development, and lab renovation, with the out-of-school track explicitly aimed at under-resourced communities. The strongest proposals are anchored in broad access and workforce preparation, and the post-secondary track is tied to certificate and degree pathways rather than general enrichment. MLSC's public guidance gives a deadline of February 23, 2026, but does not publish a standard award size on the landing page, so applicants need to plan from the solicitation rather than from a fixed cap.
