Good to know
Coverage excludes summer/winter terms, books, computers, supplies, health insurance, orientation, deposits, and optional charges. Housing and food upgrades cost extra; approved off-campus housing in years three/four is supported only up to standard costs and requires a university meal plan for food coverage. Approved Miami-billed study abroad can use the award for one fall/spring semester, with limited year-program exceptions. Additional aid can reduce the package to cost of attendance.
