Does it field a women’s basketball team?
Yes. University of Michigan-Ann Arbor reported 36 women’s basketball participants in the Equity in Athletics return it filed for 2025-26. That is the institution’s own count of the squad, not a roster page Athlavia has read, and it is the figure the United States Department of Education publishes.
It competes in NCAA Division I, and no conference affiliation is recorded here. It is one of 7 NCAA DI women's basketball programmes in Michigan, out of 59 programmes there in total.
Can it award a basketball scholarship?
NCAA Division I rules permit athletically-related student aid.
University of Michigan-Ann Arbor reported athletically-related student aid awarded to women in its most recent federal return. The amount is the total across every women’s sport at the institution — basketball, and also volleyball, soccer, track, swimming and the rest. It is not a basketball budget, and it is not what one player receives.
Read alone it is routinely mistaken for a per-player offer. Inside Athlavia it sits next to the squad size, the division's own limits and the published cost, which is the only way it means anything.
It is one of 48 institutions in Michigan whose return reports athletic aid awarded to women, out of 59 that field women’s basketball at all.
What it costs and what it is like
A published cost is held for 2023-24: tuition, mandatory fees, room and board, insurance and a travel estimate, with the international tuition rate separately where the institution publishes one.
A single yearly total tells a family almost nothing. What decides whether a place is reachable is which line is the big one, and whether the international rate differs — so Athlavia shows the lines, not a headline.

How it compares
Across the 356 NCAA DI women’s basketball programmes in this database, the average listed squad is 17 players. University of Michigan-Ann Arbor lists 36, 19 players above that average. Among the 7 NCAA DI programmes in Michigan, it has the 1st largest listed squad.
Squad size is a fact about the return, not a judgement about the programme. A large squad can mean depth or it can mean a long bench; a small one can mean minutes are available or that the roster is already settled. It is a question to ask a coach, not an answer.
