What is U-M doing about University-funded financial aid programs that formerly included some consideration of race, ethnicity, gender, or national origin factors?
University-funded financial aid programs that were previously available to admitted students based in part on race, ethnicity, gender, or national origin are now targeted toward students based on other criteria that remain permissible under Proposal 2. Those criteria include factors such as high school and neighborhood cluster, socioeconomic status, first-generation-college status, those living in single-parent homes, participation in certain federal programs such as Upward Bound, Gear Up, or Trio, etc. The Michigan Tradition Scholarship and the Michigan Experience Scholarship are examples of new resources that have been developed recently.
