International Scholarships

Miami’s International Education Scholarship program provides renewable merit-based scholarships for outstanding international applicants. International Education Scholarship awards can vary from $1,000 to $8,000 per year. Award amounts are determined by academic records, test scores, and other factors received by Miami at the time of application. Priority consideration is given to students who apply by December 1.

All international students with equivalent U.S. grade point averages of 3.50 (or equivalent) or higher are also considered for merit-based scholarships. Scholarship amounts are determined by the academic records, test scores, and other factors received by Miami at the time of application. Scholarships are not guaranteed and priority consideration is given to students who apply by December 1.

As one of the eight original Public Ivies, Miami is known for strong undergraduate teaching and providing students with unparalleled learning experiences. In keeping with the tradition of strong academic excellence, we offer the Presidential Fellows Program, an elite scholarship opportunity that provides the brightest scholars and leaders with an exceptional college experience.

The Presidential Fellows Program is a highly competitive scholarship for 15 top students in the Honors College per year that covers tuition, fees, housing, and meals, and includes a $5,000 academic enrichment stipend.

To be considered for the scholarship, you must indicate your interest in Miami's Honors College on your application for admission.   

The application for admission must be received and completed by December 1. To find out more, visit the Presidential Fellows Program page.

The #YouAreWelcomeHere Scholarship recognizes promising international students with a vision for enhancing intercultural understanding. As a participating institution in this program, Miami will award two annual, renewable scholarships covering a minimum of 50 percent of the cost of tuition. A separate application is required for consideration for the #YouAreWelcomeHere scholarship.

The application deadline is January 1 each year.
