UMSI Achievement Fellowships are structured to assist eligible students in the Master of Science in Information and Master of Health Informatics programs with four semesters of support consisting of tuition, required fees, health and dental insurance, and a stipend of $11,598 (adjusted annually each September) per semester.

The University of Michigan School of Information Achievement Fellowship is open to newly admitted students who:

Have a record of superior academic achievement (e.g., grade point average, honors or other designation)
Are U.S. citizens or permanent residents

and meet one or more of the following criteria:

Come from an educational or geographic background that is underrepresented in graduate study in their discipline in the United States or at the University of Michigan and/or holds membership in a federally recognized Tribe.
Led and/or substantially engaged in activities that broaden the participation of individuals with diverse backgrounds in the academic, professional or civic realm. By broadening participation, we mean efforts in the U.S. to specifically reduce educational disparities based on race, ethnicity, first-generation status, familial income or gender.
Have experienced financial hardship as a result of family economic circumstances.
Are first-generation U.S. citizens or are the first generation in their families to graduate from a four-year college.

No separate application required

As with UMSI merit scholarships, decisions for this fellowship are based on application materials; there is no separate application required.

Current Rackham Master's Award recipients and Rackham Merit Fellows that elect to pursue a dual degree with either the School of Information's Masters of Science in Information (MSI) or Masters of Health Informatics (MHI) programs are eligible to receive matching funding through our UMSI Achievement Fellowship.
