University of Michigan-Flint

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

Published tuition is only part of the annual cost of attending UM-Flint. In IPEDS 2024-25 figures, full-time undergraduate tuition and required fees totaled approximately $14,236 for Michigan residents and $27,790 for out-of-state students.

• Michigan-resident undergraduate tuition: $13,554, plus $682 in required fees.
• Out-of-state undergraduate tuition: $27,108, plus $682 in required fees.
• Reported annual room and board charges: approximately $12,854 for a student using that housing-and-dining arrangement.
• Reported books and supplies allowance: approximately $700.

Adding the listed room, board, books and supplies figures to resident tuition and fees produces approximately $27,790. That is an illustration using the same reporting period, not a complete cost-of-attendance budget: transportation, personal expenses and program-specific charges can add to the total. A commuter who does not buy campus housing or a meal arrangement will have a different expense pattern.

Financial aid changes the amount a student ultimately pays. In the reported aid figures, 99% of students received some form of financial aid, and 43% had student loans; a loan must be repaid and is not a price reduction. Reported average net prices varied by family income, including $2,386 for the lowest listed income band. Net price is an average after grant and scholarship aid, not an individual award or a substitute for a current aid offer.

Eligible students may use federal and state grants, institutional scholarships, loans and military education benefits. Completing the FAFSA is central to consideration for many forms of need-based aid. Because tuition, aid eligibility and living costs change, applicants should compare a current UM-Flint cost-of-attendance budget with their own financial aid notice rather than rely on a single published total.

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

UM-Flint students can seek part-time employment and career support, but a job, an internship and Federal Work-Study are different opportunities. Federal Work-Study is need-based financial aid that permits eligible students to earn wages through qualifying employment; an award does not automatically place a student in a job or pay the award amount upfront.

Students can also look for ordinary campus positions that do not require Work-Study eligibility. Job duties, hours and hiring processes depend on the employer. The financial aid office can clarify Work-Study eligibility, while student employment listings identify positions students can apply for.

For longer-term career planning, UM-Flint offers individual and group career counseling, résumé assistance, interview preparation, employer recruiting and job fairs. Its career support also includes alumni networking and mentoring opportunities. These services help students prepare and make contacts, but they should not be confused with a verified placement rate or a promise of a job offer.
