Overview
Thanks for completing My Scholarship Profile. While the University of Michigan already has lots of academic, biographical, demographical, and financial information about you, a limited number of donor-provided scholarships ask for additional information. My Scholarship Profile collects and stores this supplemental information so that scholarship administrators have it available for their use. You should visit My Scholarship Profile often to update your profile because additional scholarships that use supplemental information will be added over time.
