*The direct cost is the amount the student is expected to pay directly to the university over the course of the term or academic year, and includes Wellness Center membership and activity fees, as well as room and board if the student lives on-campus. The indirect cost refers to the various expenses associated with college life that are not paid to the university.

The University will attempt to meet the student’s need through a combination of scholarships, grants, loans and/or work programs. The University of Miami awards funds from various programs based on student eligibility and the availability of funds. We encourage students to apply on time in order to receive the "best" possible package. This process is called "financial aid packaging." Students are informed of their financial aid package in a financial aid award letter after acceptance to the University.
