U-M Club of Greater Chicago: Scholarships

2024-25 Scholarship Program

Each April, the UMCGC awards several scholarships to financially eligible students from the Chicago area, either those currently attending the University for undergraduate studies or those who will be enrolling at the University in the fall. Since 2009, the UMCGC has awarded 50+ students with over $350,000 in scholarship funds!

Guidelines

UMCGC scholarships are non-renewable (i.e., they are only for the upcoming academic year). All four-year undergraduate students (including those who may have received one or more scholarships in previous years) who are academically and financially eligible may apply for a scholarship. The number of scholarships we award each year varies depending upon the amount of money currently available for distribution and the need that currently exists.

Scholarship recipients are chosen by our UMCGC Scholarship Committee. Incomplete or late applications will not be considered.

PLEASE NOTE AN IMPORTANT CHANGE NEW THIS YEAR: 
FAFSA has changed certain deadlines. As such, we will be splitting our scholarship award process into two segments:
 
Incoming freshman must submit their completed applications no later than March 15, 2024 to be considered. In order to be considered for a scholarship, you must also submit your FAFSA and Profile to the University by March 22, 2024 so that eligibility can be verified as applicants are reviewed. You do not need to provide the UMCGC with a copy of your FAFSA or Profile. Any questions regarding FAFSA should be directed to the University’s Office of Financial Aid. Incoming freshman who are selected to receive an award will be notified in April.
Returning students will have a separate application deadline in April when additional information becomes available from the University. Returning students who are selected to receive an award will not be notified until later this summer.

For scholarship winners, funds will be transferred directly to the recipient’s University of Michigan Office of Financial Aid student account.

The Scholarship Application is now live and available here. You must submit your application using this form. Email submissions will not be accepted. If you have questions about or problems with the application form, please email us at [email protected] before submitting your application.

Please Support!

  • Donating to the UMCGC scholarship fund online via the Alumni Association’s secure servers.
  • Volunteering to host or assist with a UMCGC fundraising event. No assistance is too small.
  • Suggesting a fundraising event or idea for UMCGC’s scholarship fund.
  • Donate items such as football tickets, U-M apparel, or any other U-M related items for a silent auction by emailing [email protected].
