Hi everyone, thank you for responding. For a little bit of clarification. The 5-7k that’s not covered at all is after work study, federal subsidized direct loans, and federal unsubsidized direct loans, so my total award including work study and loans is still not meeting the full cost of going to Michigan.
For some more specific numbers, I received:
$26285 in UMich grants
$17611 in Provost’s award
$6095 in Federal Pell Grant
$1500 in Federal Support Educational Opportunity (?) Grant
$3000 in Work Study
$3500 in Federal Subsidized Direct Loans
$2000 in Federal Unsubsidized Direct Loans
And that totals up to $59991, which would require me/my family to cover about 5k (and a little more for books/personal expenses I believe? I can’t remember is Michigan’s cost figure included those). This isn’t really feasible for my family, even though I am grateful that I got this much from them.
