The Frost School of Music and the University of Miami are proud to offer a full range of financial assistance packages rewarding both musically and academically talented students. In addition, based on demonstrated need, students may be considered for state and federal grant, federal loan programs, and college work-study.

For priority consideration, freshman and transfer applicants must apply to the University of Miami and submit the Frost School of Music supplemental application by December 1st and successfully complete the audition before March 1.



There is no separate scholarship application. Musical ability and academic performance are considered in determining scholarship eligibility and awards. In some cases, financial need may also be considered in making such determinations. All music scholarships are applied only to tuition. To be considered for scholarships and/or financial aid, you must:

  1. File a Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) with the College Scholarship Service. The priority deadline to file the FAFSA is February 1st. The FAFSA is available on line through the Federal Student Aid Office of the Department of Education.

All Florida aid, scholarships and grants, need based or merit, requires the submission of a FAFSA. International students who do not have green card status are exempt from filing the FAFSA.
