Affording a University of Miami Education...

Although the overall expenses cited on the University of Miami's website seems extremely high, there are tons of opportunities that make it possible to afford such a great education.
The University itself has an exstensive network of scholarships, grants, and other financial awards that are given to many students. Applying for admission here at the University automatically places you in consideration for these awards. While some are based on academic excellence, others (such as certain grants) are dispersed based upon information from your FAFSA.

For more info, visit miami.edu/affordable

There are also a plethora of resources outside of the University of Miami- check with your college counselor or career center director to get up-to-date information about scholarships awarded by your school, local companies and community groups. Some website search engines are also helpful.

Fastweb
Scholarships
Collegeboard

And remember-
If you have to pay money to get money, it's probably a scam.

Be careful about what information you give out to which sources- if it seems sketchy, it's probably best to forget about that application and move on to another. Better safe than sorry.
