UMichigan has a few nice engineering scholarships. But they are very particular about state or county of origin.

My OOS D applied last year with a high 35, 4.0 UW, lots of AP, loads of music stuff, volunteering, other good test scores. No academic merit aid, but she did get accepted. She is not in engineering.

Have you thought of UIUC? They are excellent for engineering. They have a scholarship for OOS $12K/yr that covers most of OOS costs. They are kind of expensive even with that, but you might get more. D was offered that scholarship plus another one from her dept. Here is a link to engineering scholarships at UIUC- [Freshmen Engineering Scholarships | Engineering at Illinois](Majors & Minors | The Grainger College of Engineering | UIUC).

I know it’s not Michigan, but just a thought. Are you instate? My feeling is that in general Michigan gives very little merit aid to OOS, engineering and maybe music are exceptions.
