What's Covered
Description
The David N. and Kathleen C. Gillmore Scholarship is a financial aid award designed to assist undergraduate students at the University of Michigan who demonstrate substantial financial need. This scholarship was established through an endowment created by David N. and Kathleen C. Gillmore, whose intent was to provide ongoing support to students who might otherwise face financial obstacles in pursuing their academic goals. The scholarship is integrated into the university’s financial aid system and is awarded based on a comprehensive review of the student’s financial circumstances. Eligibility is primarily determined through the FAFSA or the university’s own financial aid application, which assesses family income, assets, and other relevant factors. Since the scholarship is need-based, academic merit alone does not guarantee receipt, though recipients are expected to maintain satisfactory academic progress. The amount awarded varies each year depending on the availability of funds and the individual financial need of the student. The scholarship is applicable to all undergraduate students regardless of their field of study, reflecting the donors’ commitment to supporting a diverse student body. Recipients may use the funds to cover a range of educational expenses, including tuition, housing, books, and other costs associated with their studies. The scholarship does not require a separate application; students who have submitted their financial aid forms by the university’s deadlines are automatically considered. Renewal of the scholarship is contingent upon continued financial need and academic standing. This scholarship is part of the University of Michigan’s broader financial aid offerings aimed at promoting access and affordability for students from various socioeconomic backgrounds.

Financing Information
Funding and Financial Support Mechanism
The David N. and Kathleen C. Gillmore Scholarship is funded through an endowment established by the donors, which generates income used to provide financial aid awards to eligible undergraduate students. The scholarship amount awarded to each student varies annually based on the total funds available and the individual financial need as determined by the University of Michigan’s financial aid office. The university evaluates each applicant’s financial situation using information provided through the FAFSA or the university’s own financial aid application process. This evaluation considers family income, assets, household size, and other relevant factors to determine the level of need. The scholarship is intended to supplement other forms of financial aid, such as federal grants, loans, and work-study opportunities, to create a comprehensive aid package tailored to the student’s circumstances. Recipients are required to maintain satisfactory academic progress to continue receiving the scholarship in subsequent years. The university’s financial aid office manages the disbursement of funds, typically applying the scholarship amount directly to the student’s tuition and fees. Any remaining funds may be allocated toward other educational expenses such as housing, textbooks, and supplies. Since the scholarship is need-based and dependent on available funds, the exact amount and number of awards can fluctuate each academic year. Students are encouraged to submit their financial aid applications early to ensure consideration for this and other financial aid opportunities offered by the university.
