The College of Engineering (CoE) offers MS Merit Scholarships to admitted applicants who demonstrated exemplary achievements. These scholarships offer up to 40% of direct tuition costs. We do not offer research/teaching assistantships or fellowships for MS studies. Applicants who wish to be considered for a Scholarship must indicate so on the application for admission. They must also complete and submit the supplemental MS Merit Scholarship Application form.
In addition to the GRE, International Students must also take the TOEFL or IELTS exam and complete the Financial Responsibility Form: http://mps.rsmas.miami.edu/pdfs/financial.pdf
If you are accepted to the Engineering School, we will prepare your I-20 and send it to you by express mail. However, you must first provide us with the financial/bank approval form. When you receive the I-20, you must verify that all the information on the I-20 is correct and then take it the nearest U.S. Embassy or Consulate to apply for your F-1 visa. If you are required to obtain an F-1 or J-1 visa, please contact your U.S. Embassy or Consulate and inquire about how to apply for an exchange visitor visa. Contact information for and information on visa application procedures at U.S. Embassies and Consulates worldwide is available through the U.S. State Department website: http://www.travel.state.gov. To apply for an F-1 visa, you must provide the U.S. Embassy or Consulate your Form I-20, your passport, statement of funds, and other documents, as required by the U.S. Embassy or Consulate. To apply for a J-1 visa, you must provide the U.S. Embassy or Consulate with your Form DS-2019, passport, statement of funds, and other documents, as required by the U.S. Embassy or Consulate.

All international students are required to enroll in the University sponsored heath insurance program. This cannot be waived.
The annual premiums for the 2013–2014 insurance plan offered by the University through United Healthcare are $2197 for both domestic and international students. Further information about these plans can be found at: http://www.miami.edu/sa/index.php/student_health_center/
Students scheduled to graduate at the end of the fall semester can request to be charged for the fall semester only by completing an insurance exception form by September 1st. Students who request to be charged for the fall only, and remain enrolled, will be subject to the spring/summer insurance fee.
