More than 50% of out-of-state students receive some form of financial aid. By contributing to the Undergraduate Student Aid Scholarship Fund, you’ll help support university-wide undergraduate student aid that ensures a Michigan education is accessible for all.

While the entire campus is committed to supporting each and every student, international students face additional challenges beyond those of their domestic counterparts. To support these students in need, consider the International Student Emergency Fund.

Help University leadership to meet the most pressing needs of the University and its students by donating to the President’s Discretionary Fund. This fund, also known as the University of Michigan Annual Fund, provides critical funds that help to shape U-M today and tomorrow.

Supporting International Students

Each year, U-M welcomes students from over 110 different countries to campus. Donor support is critical for providing the next generation of Wolverines an accessible world-class education. Thank you for your support!
