Stamps Scholarship

The Stamps Scholarship is UM’s most prestigious merit award, recognizing exceptional students whose academic achievement, leadership, and curiosity position them to make the most of a University of Miami education. Stamps Scholars receive the full cost of attendance for eight semesters (10 semesters for students in five-year degree programs) or the completion of the first degree, whichever is sooner.

With the support of the Office of Academic Enhancement, Stamps Scholars take part in exclusive programs, benefit from one-on-one advising, participate in group community service efforts, and are personally referred for additional prestigious academic opportunities.

Scholarship Details

The Stamps Scholarship includes tuition and fees, on-campus housing, a meal plan, University health insurance, textbooks, a laptop allowance, and access to a $12,000 enrichment fund.

Enrichment fund expenses are subject to prior approval and may support study abroad, undergraduate research, unpaid internships, and other educational pursuits.
