UChicago2016, this data is easily available online. If you make $60k or less, Stanford covers tuition, room, and board (though if your income is around there and/or you have other assets, your EFC might be nonzero, but very very small). So you’ll only have to pay for books, travel, and personal expenses.

If you’re a low-income student (assuming no college savings), I doubt you’ll be able to pay for Michigan, which is one of the most expensive schools for out-of-state students. And as you said, in-state students tend to get the financial aid. Plus it’s just not worth it to go to an out-of-state public that’ll cost you $50k/year.
