Financial Aid
The Blavin scholarship complements the existing financial aid package by awarding a scholarship toward the cost of attendance at U-M. The Blavin scholarship can be used to cover remaining expenses related to the cost of attendance as allowed under financial aid policy and Blavin Scholars program, such as study abroad experiences through U-M, health expenses incurred during the term, and additional needed educational supplies.
The Blavin scholarship makes it possible for Blavin scholars to earn an undergraduate degree with few or no student loans. We have assigned liaisons within the Office of Financial Aid, who work closely with prospective and current Blavin scholars, to address questions and concerns related to financial aid and paying for college.
You can find more information about aid on the U-M Financial Aid website. Also check our resource page for more support.
“I realized that I don’t have to allow my circumstances to define what I will become. And now reflecting back on the entire journey, I see how much of a privilege this was and how lucky I was to be here—how lucky I got to have the mentorship, have people encourage me along the way, and to have financial assistance when I got to Michigan.” — Blavin Scholar
