CDes & U of M Scholarships

Grants, scholarships and fellowships are the most desirable type of aid because the funds do not need to be repaid. In addition to state and federal grants, many scholarship programs have been established through the generosity of individuals, friends, and alumni of the University, as well as academic, professional, fraternal and business organizations, and foundations to give recognition and support to University students.
