whitecadillac, why would a public university be more generous to a non-resident? You seem surprised that Michigan would favor giving scholraships to in-state students. Don’t you know that all public universities favor their own residents above all other applicants? Would UCLA or Cal be more generous to a resident of Michigan than to a resident of California?

At any rate, Michigan will generally meet close to 100% of in-state students’ demonstrated need, but typically meets less than 90% of out of state students’ demonstrated needs. It varies of course. In some instances, out of state students get 100% of their needs covered, but that is less common.

As for scholraships, students who get them typically score slightly higher on on the SAT/ACT (over 2250/33). Again, there are exceptions, and your stats are excellent. But I am pretty sure that you have waited too long to apply. Most students who receive scholarships apply in the September-November period and we are now practically in December. You lose nothing by trying though.
