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 2010-2011 academic year, the most recent year for which data is available, the University of Michigan awarded and paid aid in the following amounts:

Total aid awarded to undergraduates: $339,577,542 to 19,286 students
Total aid awarded to graduate students: $544,474,949 to 14,056 students
