Indiana school leaders have an opportunity to strengthen instruction and improve student outcomes through two state-funded grants now open for 2025: the Digital Learning Grant (DLG) and the Next Generation School Improvement Grant (NextGen SIG).
These grants offer Indiana educators an exciting, timely opportunity to bring innovative solutions into their schools, and both align closely with Swivl’s newest solution, M2.
Digital Learning Grant (DLG)
Available to public and charter schools that completed the 2023 School Tech Plan Survey, the Digital Learning Grant funds innovative educational technology that improves teaching and learning.
Funding priorities include:
- AI-powered tools to support instruction and reduce admin workload
- Professional development for educators
- Immersive and personalized learning
- Assistive technologies to promote access and equity
Funds may cover software, hardware, and implementation-related PD. The application for the 2025 Digital Learning Grant is open through May 16, 2025.
NextGen School Improvement Grant (SIG)
Open to schools identified for CSI or TSI under Indiana’s ESSA plan, NextGen SIG supports transformational change. It encourages schools to rethink instructional models, redesign student experiences, and partner with experts to lead the work.
A list of eligible schools is available here.
Applications for the 2025–2026 School Improvement Grant are open through May 31, 2025.
Because it follows along with your instruction, M2 can pick up right where you left off and chime in with a timely and relevant contribution to keep the lesson flowing smoothly.
What makes M2 a strong fit?
M2 is an intelligent co-teacher that leverages AI to provide on-demand instructional support in the classroom.
It gives teachers real-time feedback and can be prompted as a live co-teacher to help strengthen instruction and engage students.
M2 aligns with both grant programs:
- Digital Learning Grant (DLG): M2 qualifies as an AI-powered solution that enhances teacher effectiveness and supports tech-driven professional development.
- NextGen SIG: M2 supports school transformation by improving instructional quality, developing teacher capacity, and fostering long-term growth through structured reflection and support tools.
