Financial Aid at Michigan

<p>What's the financial aid like at University of Michigan- Ann Arbor for out-of-state transfer students?</p>

<p>I got in as an instate kid and still got a horrible offer. Realize that they have no merit scholarships left--those all went to the frosh. I have an EFC of only $4,000. They only gave me enough loans and scholarships to cover half the cost....both times. At first they thought I was an out of state, so they gave me $24,000 in aid (this includes loans). When I told them I was in state, they offered me $8000 in scholarships and some more in loans.</p>

<p>i was accepted OOS and you have to pay around 10gs in loans per trimester.</p>

<p>Wow. My family's EFC approaches 0 though. Do you think that will make any difference?</p>

<p>HAHAHA, mine is 0 too and im a URM (we all know Umich caters to URMs), so looks like 10 gs per trimester for you too.</p>

<p>does u of m go by a trimester or semester?</p>

<p>my efc is near 0, and i didn't get much aid at all as an OOS transfer.
expect around 10k in grants and take 30k in loans for each year. that was my case.</p>

<p>Outrageous!</p>

<p>u of M goes by semesters like most schools. i think they call it trimesters because other schools don't have "winter" semesters.</p>

<p>fall (sept-dec)
winter (early jan - late april)</p>

<p>that is 1 academic year and that is what most students do.</p>

<p>there's also spring and summer semesters.. basically just summer classes at any other college.</p>
