The University of Miami is inviting new international students to apply for merit awards in the US. The University of Miami is a private research university with approximately 10,000 undergraduate students from around the world. Its unique location in Coral Gables, Florida, offers students the best of both worlds: a small campus setting with large academic and cultural opportunities.

Applicants whose first language is not English are usually required to provide evidence of proficiency in English at the higher level required by the University.

Award:

President’s Scholarship: Ranges from $6,000-$30,000 annually

Canes Achievement Award: Ranges from $5,000-$16,000 annually

Applicants must meet the following eligibility requirements:

• Students are automatically considered for the President’s Scholarships when they apply for admission to the University. The University of Miami takes into account students’ high school grades, the difficulty of the course curriculum, extracurricular activities, essay, and guidance counsellor recommendation(s), as well as the overall quality of the pool of applicants applying to the university each year when making Award decisions. The SAT/ACT is not required for applicants studying outside of the United States regardless of citizenship. However, students who graduate from a school within the United States are required to submit the SAT/ACT for scholarship consideration. A student may receive only one academic scholarship from the Office of Undergraduate Admission.
• The Scholarship Committee will make the final determination on all Awards.
• To be eligible for academic programs, international candidates must submit a complete application for admission with all academic credentials, including a bank letter by the deadline listed below. The bank letter must indicate the applicant will be able to cover the difference between the Award and the total cost of attendance.

Nationality: International students can apply for these endowments.
