U-M Undergraduate Scholarships and Need-Based Grants

University of Michigan-Ann Arbor, United States

Scholarship overview

U-M awards scholarships for academic achievement, personal talents, interests, leadership, financial need or a combination of these. Most are awarded on the strength of the admission application; schools and colleges, such as the College of Engineering, award their own scholarships to entering students.

International students on temporary visas are not eligible for financial aid, are expected to pay the full cost of attendance, and scholarships are generally not available to them.
