FINANCIAL AID AND FUNDING INFORMATION

We attempt to ensure that financial obstacles do not prevent qualified students from completing their studies. Financial aid is available to qualified students in a variety of forms from the University, the School of Public Health, and the Department of Health Management and Policy. About one-third of our residential students receive some scholarship assistance.

• Scholarships and Fellowships
  Full or partial tuition paid, granted without a work obligation. The availability of federal traineeships, scholarships and fellowships is dependent upon annual funding. These awards are generally made on the basis of academic merit, expected contribution to the field, and financial need.
• Loans
  Granted without a work obligation on the basis of financial need and negotiated with various repayment terms.
• Work Study
  Granted on the basis of financial need as determined by the University of Michigan's central Office of Financial Aid.
• Part-time Employment
  Available within the School, the University and the community.

The University of Michigan requires applicants for any and all types of financial aid to complete the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) provided by the American College Testing Center (ACTC). A FAFSA will be sent to you directly if you indicate your interest in financial assistance on the admission application form. Students may also obtain the FAFSA from a college or high school near their home, or by writing to:

The American College Testing Center
Needs Analysis Service
P.O. Box 1000
Iowa City, IA 52243

FAFSAs are available from most high school or college libraries and financial aid officers, as well as from the School of Public Health Office of Academic Affairs. FAFSA is also available on the web at www.fafsa.ed.gov.

DEPARTMENTAL AWARDS
In addition to the financial aid administered through the University and the School of Public Health, the Department dispenses other modest financial awards. HMP scholarships are awarded on the basis of outstanding academic merit. HMP tries to provide as many students as possible with monetary aid, with over 40% of our admitted receiving a departmental scholarship. Most of these awards are only partial scholarships of 50% or less, with few awards of 75-100%.
