<p>I haven’t gotten anything. I’m just wondering, what scholarships give one full tuition/full tuition + room and board that are awarded to incoming LSA students?</p>
<p>Bump…keep checkin’ those mailboxes.</p>
<p>Bumping this again because the first round of big scholarships are supposed to be arriving through snail week some time in the next two weeks.</p>
<p>Does anyone know when Financial aid rewards usually start coming in? I heard as early as March 1st?</p>
<p>Also, has anyone been able to view their financial aid document status yet? I submitted the PROFILE in November, and the FAFSA a few days ago, but when I go to “View financial aid document status”, it just says “Aid year: 2011” and next to it “Aid year not set for self-service” (or something like that…). Is this happening for everyone else? :(</p>
<p>@yosup: I get the same message.</p>

<p>Do those big scholarships include the Stamps and Shipman scholarships?</p>
<p>@smart.cookie: </p>
<p>I’m unsure about Stamps, but I called the LSA scholarship office last week and they said that Shipman recipients (people invited to the interview, or whatever) are notified through snail mail in the first week of February. It also applies to some other LSA scholarships (not sure about other schools within UoM). Anyways, if you look through posts from previous years, some received notification that they were selected for Shipman in late Feb. so even if you don’t get something this week or next week, all hope is not lost. Good luck :).</p>
<p>Well, the first week of February has come and gone. Has anyone heard anything?</p>
<p>I’ve not heard anything yet. nor have any of my friends. Perhaps Michigan will be sending stuff out during the second week of February?</p>
<p>If I don’t receive anything next week I think I’ll give up on Michigan.</p>
<p>Oh no. What about financial aid smart.cookie? I’m not expecting any scholarships, but won’t financial aid help you pay for U of M?</p>
<p>Someone on the UoM 2014 facebook group claims to have gotten a $10k/year scholarship from LSA today. Smartcookie, wait till the end of Feb, then give up :P. I would highly doubt that someone with your profile would get no money from UoM, to be quite honest, so just hang in there!</p>
<p>@ yosup: Financial aid won’t help me because Mich uses the CSS profile which factors in my dad’s salary (parents are divorced and dad isn’t helping with college expenses)</p>
<p>@ motion: I’m glad to hear that there’s still hope. I think I’ll email my admissions counselor at U of M and see what’s up.</p>
<p>Dang, that really stinks 
Maybe you and your mom could go to Ann Arbor (if it’s close by) and explain the situation, and you could possibly get more aid? I really hope you can make it work, U of M would be a good investment…</p>
<p>Smart.cookie – Does your mom have any legal avenues to pursue for a contribution toward college costs from your Dad? I mean, THEY divorced each other. You dad did not divorce YOU. He should be impelled to contribute if he’s skewing your CSS (provided he is in a condition where he is able…) Many divorce agreements provide for this with clauses such as “contribute equally to educational expenses” etc.
Do also make sure to discuss this with financial aid, FWIW.</p>
<p>The first batch of Shipman recipients was supposedly sent out on Friday (or Thursday). It can’t be that no one has gotten it yet…</p>
<p>If I can ask, how do you know the Shipman stuff went out on Thursday or Friday?</p>
<p>I called the LSA scholarship number (the one on their site) on Wednesday and they said that they hadn’t sent anything out yet for Shipman. Then I called them again yesterday and they informed me that the first batch was already sent out (notified on a rolling basis until the end of Feb, etc.). Assuming they didn’t send them on the weekend, that leaves Thursday or Friday (I called ~11:30 so I doubt they sent them out that morning, but I guess you never know).</p>
<p>Thanks for clarifying. I will keep my fingers crossed that they went out yesterday morning. :)</p>
<p>I guess some will find out this week 
but some will have to wait Any clue as to when the second batch goes out, motion?</p>
<p>Is it ever the case where someone didn’t get the Reagents but got something else/bigger?
I’m instate and accepted at the engineering school.</p>
