Scholarships
Both need-based and merit scholarships are available for first-year, transfer, and continuing students. Scholarship deadlines may vary, so please review all important dates carefully.
Financial Aid
Access key ways to help finance your education by submitting your Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA). This will open the door to all need-based scholarships, grants, work-study, and federal loans.
FAFSA
Need-based financial aid and scholarships are available through the completion of the Free Application for Federal Student Aid. Students must complete a FAFSA each academic year to be considered for all need-based scholarships, grants, and federal loans—Miami University's Federal School Code 003077.
Grants
Most federal and state grants are need-based aid and don't need to be repaid. Grant amounts are prorated based on enrollment.
Educational Loans
Educational loans are a type of financial aid that must be repaid, typically with interest. Loans have varying fees, interest rates, repayment terms, and/or borrower protections.
Funding Options
Payment Plans
Miami offers payment plans that allow families to budget each semester’s bill over a period of two or four months. Families incur a nominal enrollment fee, but no interest charges. Enrollment in payment plans does not require a credit check.
Work-Study
Work-Study is a need-based federal financial aid program that allows you to work between classes for 10–20 hours a week on campus. Work-Study earnings are not credited to your Bursar account. Instead, you will receive a biweekly paycheck. You must indicate on your FAFSA your interest in Work Study.
Veterans Benefits
Veteran, active military, and military-affiliated students pay no application fee and are provided priority registration, education benefit enrollment support, and payment considerations.
Paying for College
In addition to traditional financial aid options, we offer some unique ways for you to finance your education and gain valuable experience.
Amazon Career Choice Partner
With Amazon Career Choice, eligible Amazon employees can earn their Miami degree or upskill with a Microcredential, and Amazon will cover some or all of their tuition, books, and fees.
Service+ AmeriCorps
More than just a volunteer opportunity, you will serve 11 hours a week from August to May (450 hours) at a nonprofit and government organization host site and receive a total award package up to $6,718.
Student Employment
Get paid to work between classes for 10–20 hours a week on campus. You will develop a sense of belonging and create new relationships with fellow students as well as faculty and staff.
Work+
The Work+ program pays 100% of your college tuition while earning an hourly wage. Earn a well-respected associate or bachelor’s degree — debt-free while working with a partner employer for 24 hours a week.
