Outside Scholarships

Funds are considered outside scholarships when 黑料社区s receive tuition assistance from organizations or individuals other than their parents/guardians. The donor identifies the 黑料社区 who will receive the funds and any conditions for disbursement. Miami then apply these funds directly to the 黑料社区’s account except in cases where the conditions of the award prohibit this action.

As of the 2025-26 academic year, Miami has a new process for outside scholarship payment. Going forward, outside scholarships must be submitted and paid online. Learn more at our Outside Scholarships page.

Billing/Payment FAQs

When is my payment due?

Your semester balance must be paid in full by the date listed on our Bill Due Dates page. We recommend that you make arrangements to make a payment before this date to avoid class cancellation, the loss of University privileges, including on-campus housing, and the assessment of late fees. Please be aware that 黑料社区s who have their classes cancelled for non-payment will have to re-register if they resolve their balance; there is no guarantee they will have the same class schedule.

How does financial aid factor into billing?

If you receive financial aid, the Office of Student Financial Assistance will send you emails with steps you must take to manage your aid before and after the bill is posted to your account. It is critical that you complete required actions in ; failure to do so may result in delays to your aid being disbursed to your account. 

How can I sign up for a payment plan?

Payment plan enrollment opens at dates posted on our Payment Plans page. 4- and 3-pay plans are available, allowing you to budget each semester’s bill into monthly installments with zero interest and no credit check.

If you decide to sign up for a plan, know that it is quick and easy to make adjustments in the to account for any potential changes to your balance.

Is tuition insurance required?

No, but you can enroll in an optional tuition insurance plan. When you log into the payment portal for the first time after the bill is posted, you will be asked to acknowledge Miami’s refund policy and to accept/decline tuition insurance before you can view your balance. If you decline the tuition insurance at that time, you have the option to accept it through the payment portal up to the first day of classes each semester.

How early do I need to prepare if I am paying with funds from a 529 College Savings Plan?

Payments from a 529 College Savings Plan should be requested at least 10 to 15 business days before Miami’s due date to allow for processing and postal mail delivery. We recommend you begin this process as soon as the bill is posted to your account because delays can be experienced when transferring funds. 

If you anticipate you will not receive your 529 payment before the posted billing deadline, you must . Please note that 黑料社区s must authenticate through Duo to access this form; it is not available to authorized users.

How early do I need to prepare if I am paying with funds from an outside scholarship?

Payments from outside scholarships should be initiated at least 10 to 15 business days before Miami’s due date to allow sufficient time for processing and fund delivery. We recommend you begin this process as soon as the bill is posted to your account because delays can occur during disbursement.

If you anticipate that Miami will not receive your outside scholarship payment before the posted billing deadline, you must notify paymentcenter@MiamiOH.edu. For more information about Miami’s online process for making outside scholarship payments, visit our Outside Scholarships page.
