Outreach Activities & Events
Image
Our Outreach Unit works throughout the year with community groups and high school counselors and administrators to bring information about college financial aid to prospective students and their parents. We coordinate Financial Aid Nights, visits to local high schools, college fairs, events in the U-M Detroit Office and participate in on-campus activities in Ann Arbor. The team also hosts regular office hours in the U-M Detroit Office where we meet one-on-one to assist local families.
Note: At this time, outreach activities and office hours are virtual.
Schedule a Presentation or Event
TopOur office has a variety of presentations to help students and families prepare to tackle the college application cycle. These include a three-part “Paying for College” series designed to give high school seniors an overview of what to expect when they plan for college. The Federal Student Aid Financial Aid Toolkit may also give you ideas for an event at your school. Complete this form to schedule a presentation for your school or community event.
