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.

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.

In addition to traditional financial aid options, we offer some unique ways for you to finance your education and gain valuable experience.
