Finding Scholarships:
Information for Enrolled U-M Undergraduates

Most U-M scholarships for undergraduates are awarded to entering students upon their admission to the University; however, there are some University scholarships available to currently enrolled students each year.  Note:  To be considered for many of the "financial need" scholarships listed, students must apply for financial aid, as well as complete scholarship application forms.

You will also find U-M and private scholarship applications available from our Central Campus office and from our website.  In addition to these sources, you may want to check out scholarships available from places of employment, clubs, organizations, etc.

In general, unless otherwise noted, in order for a student to continue receiving a renewable scholarship, he/she must be enrolled full-time (minimum of 12 credit hours) and be making satisfactory academic progress.
