Michigan Scholarships

<p>Does the University of Michigan offer any full tuition scholarships for Out-of-State students?</p>

<p>According to the UM LSA site, scholarships for incoming LSA students range up to $20,000 per year, so roughly 55% OOS tuition.

<p>This is assuming you’d be in LSA. All of the colleges (kinesiology, engineering, art & design, etc.) have their own scholarship programs.
The links to all of the different colleges’ scholarship policies are listed [url=&lt;a href=“http://www.finaid.umich.edu/Home/TypesofAid/ScholarshipsGrants/TypesofScholarships.aspx]here.[/url”&gt;http://www.finaid.umich.edu/Home/TypesofAid/ScholarshipsGrants/TypesofScholarships.aspx]here.[/url</a>]</p>

<p>Michigan money is very difficult to get.</p>

<p>55% number is tad bit outdated. I think tuition now is up to 22k a term :(. The most I have ever seen anyone get is 20k a year. There is shipman scholarship which is like 15 k +room and board so that ends up working to be effectively 25ish. never seen a full ride.</p>

<p>Yeah, if you are OOS, don’t expect much. Really don’t expect anything unless you have some awesome hook (URM, amazing grades, etc)</p>

<p>Amazing grades and scores don’t even do it, ThisIsMichigan.</p>

<p>Well, I’m not gonna say it’s impossible as an OOS student. </p>

<p>If you are a half African American half native American female that wants to go into mechanical engineering and you have high grade they’ll probably give you some money</p>

<p>Lol, ThisIsMichigan. Point taken.</p>

<p>I had a 30 ACT and a pretty good gpa and received 20k a year from just LSA. It’s definitely possible to get lucky if you’re OOS.</p>

<p>My daughter had an unweighted 4.0 and 1560 on M/CR SAT, NMSF (later scholar), varsity cross country and crew, played the oboe, plus other ECs and did not get anything. Though it is possible ( hurrah, Tbeezer12!), it is kind of like Ivy admissions: who knows why they pick who they pick? The point I am trying to make ( and I am sounding awful, which is unintentional) is that it cannot be counted on.</p>

<p>Best wishes to the OP.</p>

<p>Well, if we are talking about the need AND merit based scholarship, obviously the need part could change some things.</p>

<p>Basically, if you are OOS, you are at a big disadvantage when it comes to getting aid when compared to IS kids.</p>

<p>^word. i agree.
asian male oos going into engineering, no fin aid. Somehow i squeaked a 20k a year scholarship. mich ended up being my cheapest option, a sentence rarely uttered by an oos’er.
gave it to a complete goofball, holla haha</p>

<p>I get ~$48,000 a year in various scholarships and federal grants, so OOS aid isn’t impossible. Much of it is need based but I received one scholarship after my freshman year that I’m certain was earned on merit. Another scholarship was earned through a summer engineering program at Michigan that I did in high school. I’ve been told though that my aid package is very uncommon.</p>

<p>I’m an OOS, URM in engineering with a widowed, low-earning parent. I’d be lying if I told you that I didn’t think these are some of the reasons for my aid.</p>

<p>Large OOS financial aid – doable to difficult. Large OOS Merit – almost impossible.</p>

<p>I mean it makes sense… The two large populations of mich are instate (well duh) and rich kids from the east coast who could not get into harvard or duke. No way will these guys goto rutgers :).
Those adcoms and fin aid guys are smart, they know most of the population would probably still come in even with no oos scholarship.
The only exception may be engineering, scholarships can have significance in how their class is constructed. even then scholarships are pretty dry but there is more than lsa. There also many industry sponsored stuff for engineers that you can get once you are in.</p>

<p>No love for the middle class white male from the Midwest :(</p>
