Paying for College

<p>I think I want to apply to the University of Michigan-Ann Arbor, but I am a bit concerned because of their high cost of attendence. It is listed as about $42,000/Year this year. My question is-how generous is Michigan in both financial aid and scholarship money? I come from an upper middle class family and I am looking for some sort of scholarship money as well. My stats are listed below. Anybody want to chance me for a scholarship or give me some info on financial aid? Thanks so much!</p>

<p>Try posting this on the UM forum too, Alexandre and others may be able to help you. </p>

<p>Which school are you applying to, LS&A? Assuming that you will send your ACT and that your HS schedule is rigorous, you could be in the running for one of the LS&A Deans scholarships (5-20k/yr). Don't forget to apply early! Also, recognize that tuition will go up by about 2k/yr when you have enough credits for jr standing.</p>

<p>Need based FA is not likely to be generous because you are an upper middle class OOS student.</p>
