GREAT START READINESS PROGRAM
STATE AID FORMULA FUNDING

Gsrp Web LogoThe Great Start Readiness Program (GSRP), previously known as The Michigan School Readiness Program (MSRP), provides formula driven state aid funds to public school districts and public school academies only. The purpose of the funding is to provide preschool programs for four-year-old children who may be "at risk" of school failure. Each child must have at least two of 25 identified risk factors and more than 50 percent of the children served must be low income. Both center-based and home-based models are available. All programs must provide strong family involvement and parent education components as well as preschool education.
