FINANCIAL AID??

<p>I put my family's income into University of Michigan's calculator, and I found this. However, I know that I will receive a $5,000 a year foster care scholarship. Will this scholarship count in the average $16450 to $19650 that is awarded to people with my income bracket, or will it probably be additional?</p>

<p>ESTIMATED financial aid based on 2013-2014 awarding criteria*:
Estimated grant and/or scholarship assistance: $16450 - $19650/year
Estimated net price (cost of attendance minus grant assistance): $6590 - $9790/year
Estimated need-based student loans and/or Work-Study earnings: $6590 - $9000/year
Estimated amount that the family may need to borrow or contribute from savings and/or current earnings: $0 - $790/year</p>

(see the last section)</p>

<p>The foster care scholarship would be deducted from your loan contribution, not from your grant - ie., you’d have less in debt.</p>
