@AspireIvy1 Like @billcsho mentioned, it’s not as easy as just getting a job, and it isn’t Michigan’s choice, it’s the federal government making that call. It may not be impossible, but it’s a fair deal harder. You probably wouldn’t be eligible for federal work-study so it really wouldn’t be Michigan-specific. Maybe if you tried the Financial Aid board you’d find more international students with experiences to share or actual financial aid officers, since most of the people here are domestic students or their parents, so most of us have never had to worry about those regulations.

As for merit aid you might be able to get some, though I think most of the ones that need a separate application are done. You could still get some based on your admissions application but without knowing anything about your profile (and even if we did) it’s pretty hard to judge your chances.
