Scholarship Eligibility

Applicants must enroll as full-time University of Michigan students while in the house.

Only incoming freshmen and transfer students will be considered this spring semester. (Applications from current U-M students and former participants of TASS or TASP will be considered in the fall semester.) All selected students will join the house in the fall of the following academic year.

Additional terms of scholarship may be found here.

Application Process

The application has three parts: Part I is for personal information; Part II consists of four (4) essays on a variety of topics; Part III requires academic transcript(s) and two (2) letters of recommendation.
