Fin.aid: University of Michigan

Paying for College
1

<p>I have been admitted to the uni of Michigan, but I haven't filled in or submitted any financial aid documentation (I haven't recieved an official letter in the mail yet, only on my account). As I'm an international student, what should I do to apply for scholarships\awards? Do I need to submit a PROFILE on collegeboard.com?</p>

<p>I think the deadlines for any merit aid for UMich have past…but you can check their website to see.</p>

<p>I found the following:
"April 30: Priority Filing Date. The University’s Office of Financial Aid must receive your FAFSA and PROFILE records by this date to consider you for all aid programs. "
and
“About the CSS/Financial Aid PROFILE:
1.Complete the PROFILE application online at
<a href=“https://profileonline.collegeboard.com/index.jsp[/url]”>https://profileonline.collegeboard.com/index.jsp&lt;/a&gt;.
2.Be sure to list U-M’s CSS Code 1839. The PROFILE costs $25 for the initial application and one school report. Each additional school report costs $16.
3.To be considered for all aid programs, our office must receive your PROFILE record by January 15, 2011.”</p>

<p>But I can’t submit FAFSA cause I am not a U.S. citizen, and deadline for international students was February 1…</p>

<p>The following is from the University of Michigan website. The way I’m reading this…most international students do not qualify for need based aid at UMich…but I could be reading this wrong. See if you fit any of these descriptions. </p>

<p>It sounds like you thought you had to be accepted to your schools before applying for aid. That’s not how it works. </p>

<p>That said, I don’t think UMich gives aid to int’l students.</p>
