Part 1
Support for Low-Income Students
Yes
None
A brief description of any policies and programs to minimize the cost of attendance for low-income students:
Our Go Blue Guarantee covers the cost of in-state tuition for up to four years of full-time undergraduate study on the Ann Arbor campus for Michigan residents who qualify for in-state tuition and have a family income of $65,000 or less, subject to certain limits.
If you don’t qualify for the Go Blue Guarantee, there are many other options you can use to help cover the cost of a U-M education. Approximately 70 percent of all in-state U-M undergraduate students receive some form of financial aid. U-M is the only public university in Michigan to cover 100 percent of demonstrated financial need of in-state students.
The University also provides financial aid to out-of-state students, although not at the same level of support. Overall, the University strives to have a diverse socioeconomic mix of students on campus, and to ensure that no student graduates with an unmanageable level of debt. Students from families in the lowest income bracket are not required to pay anything out-of-pocket to attend the University of Michigan. Work Study opportunities are offered to all students whose family income is $100,000 or less.

Students who wish to apply for the subsidy must meet several eligibility criteria and must submit both a federal Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) and an application for the subsidy.
