UM–Dearborn is one of the clearest examples of a “brand name at a lower price.” You’re getting a University of Michigan degree path, but with a much more accessible admissions profile and a significantly lower cost—especially once automatic merit or regional discounts are factored in.
What makes it especially interesting is how many different ways the price can drop. Out-of-state students can earn solid automatic merit or qualify for the Great Lakes in-state rate, while Michigan residents may receive full tuition through the Go Blue Guarantee. For students in the 3.3–3.9 range, it often lands in that sweet spot of strong academics, recognizable name, and real affordability. :contentReference[oaicite:0]{index=0}

💰 Cost of Attendance at University of Michigan–Dearborn 2026-2027
📅 2026–2027 Planning Note: The costs below reflect the most recently published figures (2025–2026). Universities typically finalize the next year’s rates in the spring, and we’ll update this page once official 2026–2027 numbers are released.
Planning tip: At large public universities, tuition, fees, and housing usually increase modestly each year (often in the 2–5% range). For early budgeting, families may want to plan for roughly $1,000–$1,500 more in-state or $2,000–$3,000 more out-of-state in total direct costs once new rates are published.

-
Go Blue Guarantee: Covers full undergraduate tuition & mandatory fees for in-state students
with family income ≤ $125,000 and assets ≤ $125,000. Students must also maintain the minimum GPA set by
UM-Dearborn.

with a Student Aid Index (SAI) of $30,000 or less.
Example: An in-state student with a $16,240 tuition bill could see it reduced to $0 if they qualify for

$10,700 before other aid.
Cost & Aid FAQ

Up to $5,500 per year for students attending a Michigan public university; minimum $2,500 if eligible. The exact
award depends on FAFSA results and SAI.
Do I need to apply separately?
Both the Go Blue Guarantee and Michigan Achievement Scholarship are awarded automatically once you submit the FAFSA.
No CSS Profile is required at UM-Dearborn. While the university encourages early filing, always confirm the most
up-to-date FAFSA priority deadline on the UM-Dearborn financial aid site.

Competitive Scholarship FAQ
Why are these considered competitive?
They’re not guaranteed — you’ll need strong academics, essays, or to meet extra eligibility rules. Only a limited number of students are chosen each year.
Are these worth the extra effort?
Yes. Full-tuition programs like the Chancellor’s Scholarship can completely cover tuition, saving families thousands of dollars.
Can I stack these with automatic scholarships?
Some competitive awards (like the Chancellor’s) replace other merit awards. Others, like the Detroit Promise or Michigan Achievement Scholarship, act as “last dollar” aid and combine with institutional awards.
What deadlines should families watch?
Chancellor’s steps are typically due in February of senior year. Detroit Promise has a February 1 GPA/eligibility cutoff. The Michigan Achievement Scholarship follows FAFSA timelines—file as early as possible (by March 1 recommended).

🎖️ Honors College
If your student thrives in small, discussion-based classes and wants extra challenge without extra time, UM-Dearborn’s Honors Program is a great fit. It’s an invite-to-apply experience for high-achieving first-years, with a supportive cohort and courses that count toward degree requirements—so families don’t pay for “extras” that delay graduation.
How admission works: Eligible admits (typically ≥3.5 HS GPA) are invited to apply. Notifications often go out in January, required steps are due in late February, and decisions/confirmations follow in spring. Continuing eligibility in Honors requires maintaining good academic standing (UM-Dearborn lists a minimum 3.2 UM GPA for Honors standing).
What a Typical UM-Dearborn Honors Student Looks Like
- GPA: 3.7–4.0 in rigorous college-prep courses*
- Rigor: AP/IB/dual-enrollment or top-tier senior schedule
- Leadership & Service: consistent roles in school, community, or work
- Fit: enjoys small seminars, discussion, and faculty engagement
*Honors eligibility begins around ≥3.5 HS GPA; the range above reflects common admits and is an estimate.
Honors Perks That Matter
- Small seminars (≈25 students) with close faculty interaction
- Counts toward degree: Honors courses fulfill general-education (Dearborn Discovery Core) requirements
- No extra fees for being in Honors
- Advising & community: a supportive cohort and structured guidance
