The Shipman Society is comprised of undergraduate students at the University of Michigan who have been awarded the Sidney J. and Irene Shipman Scholarship. The purpose of the society is to enrich the collegiate experience of Shipman Scholarship recipients through an emphasis on interdisciplinary education and discussion, as well as a commitment to social involvement both among society members and with the University of Michigan at large.
Meetings are held twice a month, and each one is centered around a different activity. In the past, these have included resume workshops, study sessions with snacks, tote bag decorating, and more.
We enjoy getting together outside of our regular meetings with activities such as our annual corn maze or St. Patty’s Day Brunch
Who
we are
The Shipman Scholarship is a merit-based scholarship for incoming U-M students that show high academic achievement, leadership abilities, and exceptional talent in the arts and sciences. There is no application process. All early action admitted LSA students are considered for this scholarship.
Students that receive the full Shipman Scholarship and are Michigan residents are awarded $20,000/year for four years or completion of their undergraduate degree program, whichever comes first. Students that come from out of state and receive the full Shipman Scholarship are awarded $30,000/year.
