Michigan's financial aid package came in bringing it to about $4000 less a year than Kalamazoo. HOWEVER, that's all grant money- based on income, not guaranteed to remain the same every year for the next four years - especially when Hypo is done with college. Kalamazoo's scholarship is guaranteed as long as he maintains a 2.5 and very little of that package is grant money. What do you do about that??? Realisitcally, in 3 more years, I could be full pay for Michigan.

Wait, is Kalamazoo's package primarily loans?

No guaranteed scholarship cash to UM? Is there any chance that Hypo would immediately head to grad school after undergrad? If the scholarship at Kalamazoo is guaranteed with a 2.5 that's incredible. Eldest and Middle needed to keep somewhere in a 3.2-3.4 range to keep their scholarships.
Eldest's dream school was Michigan, and was admitted with a $5K scholarship and some grants, etc five years ago. He wrote the financial aid department and told him that and that other schools offered a full ride scholarship and asked if they could do anything else for him? Of course the economy in Michigan five years ago was lousy and he was OOS but perhaps since Halo is in state they could do more for him? Would think it was worth him asking if he wants to go to Michigan?
