[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Mom of 2025 freshman. They offered her a $21 grant OOS, which made it doable for us.  Unusual for state schools, they look deep into financials, so I was surprised and DD was delighted. 
Go Blue! It’s a good fit for her (pre med) and we can afford it now (no loans).

i think this is unusual.  For others reading who have yet to apply: we are DC "middle class' and my child received some financial aid (this year) at 2 Ivies and several privates (and merit aid of about 50% at other publics--UGA, Pitt, Clemson, etc) but zero money at MI.  We know a number of people in our relative income bracket and they had the same experience with MI. They pretty much expect OOS kids to be full pay. [/quote]

At the orientation day last summer, I met a dad from Florida who said his daughter was getting good merit aid.  He was a doctor.  I believe she was the 5th child however.  He mentioned that a sibling or more had gone to Michigan.  She was studying a science as an LSA admit.  I don't know anything else about them.[/quote]

Michigan does give merit aid--about 40 scholarships. I know a kid who received one. But there are about 8000 freshmen so the odds are very long.  Outside of these it's basically full pay for OOS unless you have significant need and even then it's not a given. There were many kids on Reddit this spring from truly middle class households who received full financial aid rides or close to it from Ivies and other top30s who weren't given a dime OOS from Michigan.
