<p>I am OOS and really want to attend UM but I would need a substantial scholarship to make that happen. Due to my family situation we won't qualify for virtually any financial aid, yet we don't have near enough to pay what our EFC will be. </p>
<p>I looked around but couldn't find much info on scholarships offered by the university. Are there simply none? I know in general private universities offer more than public.</p>
<p>Any help? Or ideas on where I can look for some good scholarships?</p>
<p>The U automatically registers you to compete with everyone else for merit scholarships when you apply. You don’t have to do anything for those scholarships. I got a little bit of merit, and I know some people who got a lot of money through merit. I think a lot of people who get merit scholarships don’t have to be all that amazingly-world-saving intelligent, just depends how good their app reads fyi.</p>
<p>Oh okay thanks, I did not know that! What were your stats like if you don’t mind me asking</p>
