Scholarships
Current Miami students will be considered for the various donor and departmental scholarships available for the following year. We will automatically make award determinations by reviewing a student's cumulative grade point average (GPA) and the specific eligibility criteria required for each scholarship. Scholarships are awarded within the limits of available funds. No separate scholarship application is required. Students will receive scholarship award notifications prior to July 1.

All scholarships are based on academic merit, but some scholarships also require financial need.
- Your financial need may influence both your ability to receive a scholarship and the amount of the award.
- We determine financial need based on the results of the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA).
