Hi! I'm a first-gen college-bound student from Michigan. Trying to figure out cost of colleges in my home state. Can anyone tell me the rough estimate of In-state tuition for University of Michigan? If I can know more specifics like hidden fees or other costs, I'd appreciate it!
Hi! Glad to see you're thinking about college costs and planning ahead. As of the 2024-2025 academic year, the University of Michigan (Ann Arbor) estimates the in-state tuition to be around $17,736 annually.
When considering the overall cost, it's important to remember that tuition is only one part of it. In addition to tuition, you should also budget for other costs associated with attending college. These include room and board, books and supplies, personal expenses, and transportation. All up, the sticker price to attend UM (before financial aid) is $36,932 for in-state students.
These costs can change from year to year, so it's important to stay up to date. University of Michigan's financial aid office has a net price calculator on their website which can be a good starting point to figure out what you might actually pay after accounting for financial aid.
Remember, colleges often provide financial aid packages that can significantly lower these costs, so don't let the sticker price scare you away. Make sure to fill out the FAFSA and apply for scholarships to help offset these costs. Let me know if you have any other questions!
