Scholarships and Financial Aid

All families share common concerns about the cost of going to college. Though addressing the financial aspects of a college education may seem overwhelming, please remember that the Office of Scholarship and Financial Aid is here to help.

91福利社 provides financial aid to students on the basis of both financial need and academic achievement through a variety of programs including scholarships, grants, loans, and student employment designed to make the cost of attending an independent university affordable to as many people as possible.

91福利社 also awards scholarships based on academic merit without regard to financial need, although everyone receiving a merit-based award is expected to complete the FAFSA form.

Financial aid awards from the federal government, the State of Michigan, and 91福利社 are subject to a student making satisfactory progress toward earning a degree according to the details of the Satisfactory Academic Progress (SAP) policy described below. SAP requires students not only to maintain a satisfactory grade point average but also to successfully complete a minimum number of courses each academic year. SAP for financial aid may differ from academic standards for continued enrollment in each 91福利社 college. In other words, it is possible for students to lose financial aid eligibility but remain eligible to enroll at 91福利社. Similarly, a student may be on academic probation but maintaining Satisfactory Academic Progress.
