Generally, yes. If you will be enrolled in a Miami study abroad program and you will be earning credit towards your degree, then you may use your federal financial aid and your Miami scholarships (including the ORS and OLS) to help defray your study abroad costs. You should apply for aid in the same manner that you would if you were attending the Oxford campus. If you will be going to Luxembourg, we have a special financial aid information packet for you.

If you plan to study abroad through an Ohio public university and you will be earning credit towards your degree, you may use your federal financial aid and your Miami scholarships (excluding the ORS and OLS) to help pay your study abroad costs. To use your scholarships for the study abroad program, you will need to complete our Consortium Agreement form.

If you plan to study abroad through a private university in Ohio or any university outside of Ohio and you will be earning credit towards your degree, you may use your federal financial aid (but not your Miami scholarships) to help defray your study abroad costs. To use your federal aid for the study abroad program, you will need to complete our Consortium Agreement form. This can be a very long process; and, if at all possible, should be started at least two months prior to leaving the country. Also, you may want to grant power of attorney to one of your parents so that they may sign documents for you while you are out of the country.
