Michigan Scholarships

Michigan scholarships offer students the opportunity to pay for school without, or with very little, student loan debt after graduation. Like the diverse nature of Michigan colleges, awards for students attending school in the Golden State cover the width and breadth of academic performance, extracurricular involvement, and fields of interest.

Many Michigan colleges, both public and private, offer merit aid when admitting students. Applicants will also find Michigan scholarships from outside organizations as well, like charities, businesses, and clubs and organizations.

Searching for scholarships locally, or within the state of Michigan, will provide you with awards that are close to home. To find scholarships by your location, academic interests, community involvement, employment, and more, create a free Fastweb profile.
