Miami Access Fellows is a grants and scholarships program for Ohio residents designed to help make Miami University accessible to new first-year academically competitive students who have a total family income that is equal to or less than $35,000.
To fund this program, we add together an Access Scholar's federal and state grant funds with University grant and/or scholarship funds to meet the cost of tuition and academic fees.

A brief description of notable policies or programs to support non-traditional students:
Miami is part of the Yellow Ribbon Program, which offers scholarships for tuition and fees for Veterans above their GI Bill entitlement.
Miami has been named a Military Friendly School by G.I. Jobs for its academic credit for military service, flexibility for military students and veteran graduation rates.
Miami University’s Office of Liberal Education now offers the opportunity for Student Veterans to complete a Prior Learning Assessment Portfolio toward waiving specific Global Miami Plan requirements.
If you were deployed overseas and believe that your time abroad contributed to a deepening of your understanding of your own culture as well as the cultures of people with whom you interacted, you may qualify for the portfolio option. So too, if you underwent extensive training or spent extended time in a new culture, you may qualify.
Even if you did not serve abroad, if you were involved in humanitarian or community service in the United States, you may be able to petition for successful completion of the Global Miami Plan Experiential Learning requirement.

Data source(s) and notes about the submission:
Question 1 - Source: Miami's Common Data Set, 2020-2021, item H2 I
Question 2 - Source: Miami's Common Data Set, 2020-2021, item H5 A (derived). CDS item H5 A provides the percentage of the students in the graduating class who borrowed through any of the loan programs listed, in this case: 44%. We subtracted that figure from 100% to get the percentage who graduated without debt.
Question 3 - Source: Preliminary IPEDS data for Oxford campus first year students entering fall 2021. We divided the number who received Pell Grant awards for fall 2021, winter 2022, or spring 2022 by the total number of students in the entering cohort. 470 Pell recipients divided by 4,509 cohort members equals 10.4%
Question 4 - Source: Data reported to IPEDS in the Graduation Rates Survey, 2020-21. To calculate this percentage, we started with the 2014 cohort of Oxford campus first year students. In that cohort there were 405 students who received Pell Grants in their entering year. Of those cohort members with Pell, 304 earned a bachelor's degree within 6 years; 304 divided by 405 equals 75.1%
