International Student Scholarships
Miami University scholarships are highly competitive. The academic qualifications determining scholarship awards are dependent on the strength of the applicant pool. Of first-year international applicants accepted for Fall 2022, 88 percent were offered an academic scholarship.
All new first-year undergraduate international students who submit completed applications and meet the requirements for full admission for fall semester are automatically considered for the International Education Scholarship and University Merit Scholarship. International transfer students will also be considered for the transfer scholarship opportunities at the time of admission.
Deadlines vary by scholarship program. All scholarships are awarded at the time of admission to Miami.
