University of Michigan-Ann Arbor

What is the cost of studying for a year at University of Michigan-Ann Arbor?

University of Michigan-Ann Arbor has a large price difference between Michigan residents and nonresidents. For 2024-25, reported full-time undergraduate tuition was $18,516 in-state and $62,749 out-of-state, with $332 in required fees for either group.

• 2024-25 in-state undergraduate tuition and required fees: $18,848.
• 2024-25 out-of-state undergraduate tuition and required fees: $63,081.
• Reported annual room and board charge: $16,246; reported books and supplies cost: $1,184.

Those figures are not a complete individual cost-of-attendance budget. Housing choice, food, transportation, personal expenses, course materials, and any school-specific charges can change the total. Graduate and professional tuition follows different schedules; residency classification and a program's own tuition table therefore matter as much as the general undergraduate rate.

Published price is also different from net price after grants and scholarships. In 2024-25 reporting, 69% of students received financial aid, while the reported average grant award to undergraduate recipients was about $25,050. Those figures cover different measures and should not be subtracted automatically from every student's bill. Michigan residents may qualify for the need-based Go Blue Guarantee under its income and asset rules. Other possible funding includes federal and state grants, university scholarships, federal loans, and eligible veterans' benefits. Aid applicants should review the university's current FAFSA and institutional-aid instructions and priority dates; an individualized aid offer is more useful for comparing colleges than the sticker price alone.

What are the work-study opportunities at University of Michigan-Ann Arbor?

Michigan students can seek part-time work through Federal Work-Study and other student jobs. Federal Work-Study is need-based financial aid awarded to eligible students; an award authorizes potential earnings but does not itself assign a job or reduce a tuition bill in advance.

Students may find positions with university offices, libraries, research teams, dining operations, and other approved employers. Some eligible Work-Study arrangements support work with community organizations off campus. Ordinary student jobs may be open without a Work-Study award, although employers set their own qualifications and schedules. Students search and apply for openings through university student-employment resources rather than being automatically placed.

A research-assistant role or campus job can provide relevant experience, but pay, hours, and academic credit are separate questions. An internship arranged through an academic program or career office is not necessarily Federal Work-Study employment. Students balancing work with a full course load should check whether a position's expected hours fit their class and laboratory schedule.
