Need-based financial aid

<p>Can anyone share their experience on this subject? Did anyone receive merit and need based aid ?
How generous is UM?
Thanks</p>

<p>I got my package it was like 23k not bad considering like 17k was grants and only like 5.5k was in loans, 26k with work study, so that leaves it about 14-18k a year which isn't that rough.</p>
