Tuition & Funding

Every year, the Marsal School offers an increasing number of scholarships for currently enrolled undergraduates, post-baccalaureate students, community college transfer students, four-year college transfer students, and certification only.

We select students for scholarships based on several factors, including the amount of funds available each year and the number of students deemed eligible to receive our support. When making funding decisions, our scholarship review committees consider students’ demonstrated financial need as determined by the Office of Financial Aid (OFA), academic merit as determined by the program, and/or a combination of both. Students do not formally apply for the Marsal School’s scholarships. You will automatically be considered.

We believe that we are unique among our peer institutions in that we strategically leverage our need-based scholarship offers to reduce our students’ self-help (unmet need, students’ need-based loans, and Work Study awards). We review students’ eligibility for our scholarships throughout the spring and summer term every academic year.

Michigan Residents can qualify for the Go Blue Guarantee for families with incomes $75,000 or under and assets below $75,000.  The University of Michigan is the only public university in Michigan that covers 100% of demonstrated financial need of eligible Michigan residents.
