School of Information Scholarships

Students who apply by the early deadline for the desired term of admission (Feb. 1 for fall term, Oct. 1 for winter term) receive first consideration for SI's merit-based tuition scholarships. These deadlines are for SI scholarships only. Students are encouraged to apply for need-based aid from the U-M Office of Financial Aid.

SI scholarship decisions are made by the faculty serving on the master's admissions committee and are based on the full set of application materials; no additional forms are needed. SI tuition scholarships are selective and all SI awards are offered prior to the first term of admission. Most awards cover one-half of SI tuition for four terms.

SI Matching Funds for External Tuition Awards

SI master's students who receive scholarships administered by external sources to SI and the University of Michigan -- such as associations, foundations, and corporations -- are eligible to request matching funds from the School of Information. For example, scholarships such as the American Library Association's Spectrum Award are eligible for these matching funds.

University Library Associates Program

The U-M Library System, in conjunction with the School of Information, appoints four individuals each year (fall admission only) for the University Library Associates (ULA) program. This highly selective program includes full tuition, a stipend for a two-year assistantship in one of the U-M libraries, health insurance, and additional staff benefits.
