University of Michigan Club of Greater Boston

First Annual 2008-2009 Scholarship Campaign!

The University of Michigan Club of Greater Boston is proud to kick-off the first annual fundraising campaign to support need-based scholarships to local students accepted to Michigan! Over the next few weeks, you may hear directly from local alumni, and we encourage you to donate to this worthy cause. Keep your eyes open for an event later this year to celebrate esteemed Michigan alumni and hear from current undergraduate scholarship recipients.

Were you a Michigan scholarship recipient and willing to share your story? Interested in donating or volunteering with the group? E-mail BostonFundraisersumich.edu!

The cost of higher education is skyrocketing nationwide. Currently, it costs $45,000 per year for an out-of-state student to attend Michigan. Unfortunately, many gifted students never set foot on campus because their families do not have the financial resources to make their goal of attending Michigan a reality. They may choose to attend other institutions that offer more competitive financial aid packages. Those who do attend borrow more than students at any other Big Ten school, borrow from private lenders at high interest rates, take longer to graduate, and are more likely to drop out because of the financial strain. When they graduate with excessive debt, their career choices are hindered based on the need for repayment.
