Incoming Student Scholarships (Awarded directly from Taubman College)
Merit-based scholarships are available to selected incoming students. Applicants are automatically considered for scholarships and are notified of an award in the admission letter. Because financial resources are limited, we would encourage all applicants to seek out other sources of funding as well. Please apply for all scholarships, fellowships, and grants that you are eligible for to increase your chances of receiving an award.
Federal Financial Aid Awards (FAFSA)
U.S. Citizens and Permanent Residents are eligible to apply for Federal Financial Aid. The Office of Financial Aid administers the Financial Aid award packaging and their website has a Chart of Financial Aid Awards that outlines the various types of Federal Awards.
Work-Study Awards
A Federal Work Study award is an award that allows a student to work for eligible employers on and off campus to earn money to pay for school. A student must be hired for a work study job through the Student Employment Office and earn the wages up to the specified award amount. Work Study employees are paid directly by their employer; the wages earned are NOT automatically applied towards tuition. It is the student's responsibility to manage their earnings accordingly.
Need based Architecture Graduate Grants
Taubman College also gives the Office of Financial Aid a block of funds to distribute to students based on financial need. These awards are called Architecture Graduate Grants.
Private Loans
There are a few private loan options for students, such as a CitiAssist Loan or an MI-LOAN.
Student Employment (Non-Work Study)
There are employers on and off campus that will hire students (mostly part-time) for regular non-work study jobs.
Continuing Student Scholarships
Continuing students have the opportunity, annually, to apply for continuing merit based scholarships. During winter term of your first year in the program you are eligible to apply for continuing merit based scholarships for the 2008-2009 academic year. An email will be sent to all students notifying them of the continuing scholarship application procedures and deadlines. To increase your chances of receiving a continuing scholarship, you should strive to achieve good grades and be in the top 50% of your class during your first year.
Graduate Student Instructor Positions
Students may apply for a Graduate Student Instructor (GSI) position after their first term at Taubman College. GSI positions are competitive, and you must be enrolled full time in the Architecture Program to be eligible. It is more likely that students will be selected for a GSI position after attending for one year. Typically, a GSI position would cover 71% of tuition for the term and provide a small stipend.
