Funding
At CEW+, we work to break down barriers and increase access through funding. We offer opportunities for scholarships, emergency grants, sponsorships, and more for a range of situations and life circumstances.
Career & Education Counseling
Our professionally trained and experienced counselors work within a developmental framework to help individuals consider their options, make informed choices, and both define and resolve problems, while focusing on issues of achieving their career goals and balance between school, work, and family.
Typical counseling services for students may include discussions around:
- Navigating the University experience
- Advocacy
- Work/Life balance issues
- Emergency funding for current U-M Ann Arbor students
- Tailored support for underserved students
- Financial aid options
- Resume/cover letter/application review
