Non-Michigan Resident Tuition Scholarship

Oakland University’s Non-Michigan Resident Tuition Scholarship is awarded to qualifying non-resident domestic graduate students who have earned a baccalaureate degree and have been admitted to an Oakland University graduate degree*.

Awards are restricted to graduate courses that satisfy the selected graduate degree; it is not applicable to non‐program courses.
