Financial Aid & Scholarships

Taubman College is committed to making quality education affordable and achievable to all students.

Applying for Aid

Because (if admitted) external transfer students start in the Summer term, you are required to have 3 financial aid forms on file:

  • Current FAFSA (current academic year)
  • Upcoming FAFSA (next academic year) – year you’re entering U-M

Scholarship Searches

Taubman College offers a very limited number of merit and/or need-based scholarships to students based on their application for admission. However, there are external scholarships that reward students for anything from academic achievement to involvement in certain activities. Scholarship search tools will help you narrow down your options. We recommend starting with The College Board, appily, goingmerry, Fastweb, collegescholarships, Scholarship America, Finaid.org Scholarships, and SPIN.

These free search tools are intended only as a resource and do not express or imply any university involvement with, or endorsement of, the external programs.
