MI Future Foundation

Our Mission

Recognizing the staffing crisis facing the insurance industry, the MI Future Foundation works externally to educate the public about career opportunities offered by Michigan’s independent insurance agencies and internally by educating independent insurance agents on the potential pool of talent offered by higher education institutions. In conjunction with these efforts, MI Future is building a bridge between agencies and prospective employees. MI Future is a nonprofit, 501(c)3 foundation.

Student Scholarships

MI Future is now accepting applications for the Undergraduate Sons and Daughters Scholarship. Full-time students planning for a career in the independent agency system who have immediate family working in an independent agency are eligible to apply. 

Deadline to submit is May 31. Download Application.

Agency Internships

Knowing that a great way to help bring young people into the agency system is to provide them with internship opportunities, MI Future offers Big I Michigan member agencies internship grants.

Once a year, MI Future offers $3,000 grants to help offset the costs associated with hosting a working student. Grants are given to the first 10 Big I Michigan member agencies who submit an application.  

For more information, please contact Barbara Walker.

Additionally, MI Future has put together a complimentary internship guide to assist agencies in developing successful internship programs. Click here to download.
