To remain affordable, U-M is committed to keeping its costs low, limiting tuition increases, and investing heavily in financial support for students. Donor-named endowments and expendable gifts for student support are vital. At the Ford School, student support is our top funding priority, along with gifts to faculty research and policy engagement.
