Scholarships

New domestic transfer students admitted either fall or spring semester will be considered for merit and need-based scholarship opportunities. Eligibility is determined at the time of admission. A student must have submitted a Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) to be considered for need-based scholarships. Students not meeting the transfer application deadline and international students will be considered on a case-by-case basis. Students enrolled less than full time, those attending a regional campus, and students who have already earned a bachelor's degree are not eligible.

For information about outside scholarships, you can periodically check Miami's list of scholarship opportunities (PDF 262KB).
