Scholarship Amenities
The Telluride House offers great opportunities for personal, intellectual, and relationship growth within a diverse and stimulating off-campus housing community. There is no cost associated with living in the House—the scholarship covers all room and board costs and provides meals.
The Telluride House scholarship covers all room and board costs for approximately 25 University of Michigan Ann Arbor students. The House provides everything that a college dorm does and more, including:
Large single and double rooms (most students have singles)
Computer room with network printing
Study and work spaces, both quiet and communal
Lunch and dinner prepared by professional chefs for housemembers during the academic year, with plenty of cold breakfast and snack foods available
Wireless (and wired) internet access throughout the House, including in all rooms
Exercise equipment, including cardio machines and weight equipment
Entertainment areas, including a ping pong table, video game system, and movie-screening projector setup
The scholarship is renewable for up to 5 years, contingent upon members fulfilling the terms of scholarship.
