I risk posting this in this forum because one of the mantras in this forum has been that UMich offers OOS students no chance at financial aid. I’ve heard many times that one should not apply to UMich unless one has 50K to throw at it.

I’d just like to point out that I’ve learned this is not true, and that for families making less than 100K/yr there is some to quite a bit of need-based aid. A poster here brought this to my attention, and here’s the UMich webpage:

So I apologize to any students or parents I’ve misled about this. There’s some discussion about it on the FA forum here:
