Information about financial aid at the University of Michigan is available from a variety of sources both within and outside the university. Some of the available data may be one or two years old because information about the current year cannot be compiled until all four terms are complete.

The Office of Financial Aid compiles information about the total amount of aid awarded and paid from federal, state, institutional, and departmental sources to freshmen, undergraduates, and graduate students. For the 2011-2012 academic year, the most recent year for which data is reported, the University of Michigan awarded and paid aid in the following amounts:

Total aid awarded: $902,412,340 to 33,349 students

• to undergraduates: $350,995,566 to 19,213 students
• to graduate students: $551,416,774 to 14,136 students
