I’ve always wanted to go to University of Michigan Ann Arbor, but for some reason, they don’t offer any type of scholarship??
I don’t know, maybe I’m naive, but growing up I was always told that the greatest honor is not getting into college,
but not needing to pay for it. Yet that is impossible at this school? But Dearborn’s campus offers full scholarships!
I’m so confused!
Be aware that some colleges focus more on awarding need based aid. And always refer to the College webpages first

Well UMich does in fact offer scholarships: academic and need-based. Go to the link that @BrownParent provided and read up on this. It’s self-explanatory.
In my opinion, if you don’t get scholarships, don’t go. Paying loans for the next 30 years of your life just for a 4-year experience is just not worth it.
Are we to assume you are out of state?
University of Michigan has a small number of highly competitive academic scholarships.
And Michigan meets full need for instate students. Are you saying you do NOT have financial need but want a full ride?
According to your other closed thread, you have a good enough GPA…but what is your SAT or ACT score? And what is your state of residence?
And my opinion…drop the “dream school” concept.
Ummm… Didn’ t you say this in another thread?
You are saying you already applied to all these schools? Um… really?
This is likely the page linked above, but reposting in case you haven’t looked over it, and in case you really are looking at U Mich

UMich does offer at least a couple hundreds of decent amount scholarships from $5000 to $20000 per year, plus 15 or so near full tuition to full ride scholarships every year to their 6000 or so enrolled freshmen from both in state and out of state. It is highly competitive as you need to be the top of the top. In general, you need ACT 35 or above with GPA 4.0 (or not significantly below) plus some other factors in order to get one. How does your credential compare to these. Note that even not all ACT35+/GPA4.0 receive merit scholarships there as they simply have too many students like that (21% freshmen with last year with GPA 4.0).
For 2013-2014, out of ~27000 undergraduates, >11000 (near 8000 from in state and near 4000 from OOS) received merit scholarships at UMich.

So my cumulative GPA unweighted is a 4.0, while my cumulative weighted GPA is a 4.33 at the moment. Do you think this is all enough to get into college? I applied to several Ivy Leagues, as well as University of Michigan Ann Arbor & Dearborn, and University of California Los Angeles and Berkley

It’s BERKELEY
Are you OOS for the UCs? If so, don’t expect much aid from them, either.
What are your test scores?
How much will your parents pay each year? Ask them, please don’t guess.
^I always spell that wrong too…of course I’m not thinking of going there, or I might learn to spell it 
LOL m2ck,
I saw the misspelling too, but decided not to mention it
Why would you be confused? Although it is named University of Michigan, the Dearborn campus is totally a different caliber of school. Would you be surprised if UC Riverside accepted you but not UC Berkeley?
Dearborn is likely trying to poach students that would rather go to UMich.
