In addition to funding resources external to the University of Michigan, students are also encouraged to consider funding resources internal to the University listed on the U-M Library website such as:

Center for the Education of Women (CEW) works to break down barriers and increase access through funding. Open to all U-M students, staff, faculty, and surrounding community, they offer opportunities for scholarships, emergency grants, sponsorship’s, fellowships, and more for a range of situations and life circumstances.
Dow Sustainability Fellows Program provides a range of awards for graduate students and post-docs committed to working on sustainable solutions to national and international challenges.

Rackham Graduate School administers various funding opportunities for graduate students.
Services for Students with Disabilities (SSD) provides guidance and funding resources for students with disabilities.
Students with Children

The following are external, non-University scholarship opportunities that may be of interest to University/College students. Inclusion of an external scholarship opportunity is intended only as a resource for students, and does not express or imply any University involvement with, or endorsement of, the external program.
