Below, you will find the most up-to-date financial aid information from all Michigan institutions (as they submit data). Given the Better FAFSA delays, current high school seniors and their families understandably hesitate to make crucial economic decisions without all the necessary information at hand. We will continue to update information as it becomes available or changes over the next several months.
