Scholarships

If you apply for admission by Feb. 1 and are admitted to Miami University, you will be considered for the many general scholarships awarded to freshmen. No separate application is required.

Scholarships range from $1,000 up to $10,000. Many are multiple-year scholarships that may be renewed with a 3.0 cumulative grade point average.

To be considered for Miami's most prestigious academic award, the Harrison Scholarship, complete both the Honors Application and the Miami University Application for Admission by Nov. 3. Students who are offered admission into the Honors Program will be given priority in the awarding of Miami's donor scholarships.

Scholarship award determinations will be based on official testing information received by Miami University as of March 1.

Complete the FAFSA by Feb. 15 (Miami's Priority Filing Deadline)

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).
