Michigan Student Assembly of the University of Michigan

MSA supports payments to 346 UM registered/recognized student organizations, to fund student extracurricular activities and events. MSA operates its funding to student organizations through a reimbursement process. Registered UM student organizations must apply to MSA for funding events that directly affect the greater UM student/non-student community. All funding is awarded through a reimbursement process where UM student organizations are required to submit authentic proof of payment of applied for and awarded event expenses, and MSA verifies such expenses and reimburses the student organizations for the awarded and approved expenses. MSA retains all student organization funding applications and expense proof of payments for up to 5 to 7 years.

University of Michigan students are awarded stipends to assist with childcare expenses. MSA is not allotted any funds/stipends directly for childcare expenses. Rather all such funds are directly allocated to the UM Financial Aid department. MSA understands the University of Michigan's Financial Aid Department uses the stipend allotment to assist the University of Michigan students with childcare expenses as needed. MSA understand that $1.37 of all student fees are used for UM childcare, administered solely and directly by the UM Financial Aid department.

AirBus provided convenient, low-cost transportation for UM students and the UM community between the University of Michigan Ann Arbor campus and Detroit Metro Airport, during the four University breaks.

MSA's other programs and services include and involve student co-curricular and extra-curricular educational programs and services that benefit the UM student body and the University's community. The amount includes funds transferred to other University of Michigan departments in support of MSA initiatives.
