All financial assistance that students are eligible to receive must be taken into consideration when calculating need-based financial aid. Consequently, as soon as the Office of Student Financial Assistance is notified that you, your spouse, or your dependent child will receive a fee waiver, we are required to recalculate the student’s eligibility for aid. If eligibility for any aid changes, the student will be notified within two to three weeks.

Miami policy states that when employees and/or their families who are receiving the staff family fee waiver are Oxford campus students and have been awarded an Ohio Leader Scholarship, the amount of the Ohio Leader Scholarship may change. However, the combined amount of the Ohio Leader Scholarship, Ohio Resident Scholarship and fee waiver will still pay 100% of the Instructional Fee if you are a full-time employee.

In addition, if you, your spouse, or your dependent child had been awarded an Ohio Instructional Grant or an Ohio War Orphans Scholarship, the amount of these awards most likely will be lowered since these funds can only be used to pay for the Instructional Fee and the General Fee.
