Important Information:

  • No separate application is required. Students are automatically considered for awards.
  • Classified as in-state resident.
  • Final official transcripts which affect scholarship eligibility must be received by the end of the UM-Dearborn drop/add period for the student's first semester of enrollment.
  • Students who previously attended UM-Dearborn are considered "re-admits," not transfer students, and therefore are not eligible for the Destination Maize and Destination Blue Scholarships. Scholarship funds for Summer admits are available for Fall and Winter terms.
  • Second degree admitted students are also not eligible.
  • Only courses required for a student's degree program count towards enrollment hours.
