Undergraduate Architecture Incoming Merit-Based Scholarships
All undergraduate architecture applicants are automatically considered for two $5,000 merit-based scholarships. Applicants are notified of a scholarship award as part of the admissions process. Because financial resources are limited, applicants are encouraged to seek out other sources of funding as well.
Federal Financial Aid Awards (FAFSA)
All U.S. citizens and permanent residents are encouraged to complete the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) by February 15 to ensure that they are eligible for all available aid. Please visit the Office of Financial Aid website for detailed information and application materials. Since new transfer students begin in the 2012 summer half term, a 2011-2012 and 2012-2013 FAFSA should be completed.
Approximately four need-based scholarships are awarded to undergraduate students every year. The awards are made possible through the generous donations of alumni and friends of Taubman College.
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.
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. The Student Employment Office can assist with these positions.
Private Loans
There are a few private loan options for students, such as a CitiAssist Loan, a Signature loan from Sallie Mae, or an MI-LOAN.
