This session is designed for students who are unfamiliar with or uncomfortable navigating financial aid at the University of Michigan. It is intended to be an introduction to both information about the financial aid process and to the units that students can call on when they need help. We will cover how to read your aid package, how (generally) to budget based on your funding, where to go with questions, and how to apply for emergency funding.

The panel will include representatives from CEW+, The Dean of Students Office, the Office of Financial Aid, and Rackham Graduate School. There will be time for questions and to connect with staff after the discussion.

Moderator: Carisma Ayala, Social Work Intern, CEW+
