What a strange place to ask this question

Not really. Alot of alumni here and connected people. Surprisingly alot of late 30's mid 40's with kids off to college so probably a little insight. Not so surprisingly I have nothing to offer other than the costs

Tuition and Fees: Undergraduate tuition and fees are approximately $62,616 per year.
Room and Board: On-campus housing and meal plans average around $23,790 per year.
Books and Supplies: Expect to spend about $1,266 on books and supplies.
Other Expenses: Additional expenses like transportation and personal spending can add another $6,220 per year.

Youre actual question about aid. Im worthless. Kill me

/University of Miami is known for providing substantial financial aid to its students. On average, the university meets 100% of demonstrated financial need for admitted students in their first year. In 2021, 46% of first-year students received need-based financial aid, with an average need-based scholarship or grant of $30,822. Additionally, the average non-need-based scholarship or grant awarded to first-year students was $23,451.
 
Strong in need based grants. Coral grant hooks it up if the family is poor. Was significantly cheaper for me to go to UM than in-state options. I don’t think grades play a huge factor with the coral
 
Don’t you know that no Cane fans actually attended the university? 😉🤣

You’re getting some great advice in this thread. I can also attest to the fact that UM gives amazing financial aid and scholarships, although I received my package offer in 1996, so I’m far too old to remember the numbers (I just remember I paid ~$20K total for all four years including everything). However, if you know what number you need to attend UM, call the Financial Aid Office and talk to them. Tell them what it would take to get you to come and see if they’ll do it.

Congratulations on getting in to some great schools!
 
I applied for and got the Bowman Ashe, I think that's the name, scholarship with similar SAT and GPA. It was 75% of tuition. But that was fall of 2006.

Depends on need, mostly, but also your kid's major and how badly a school wants her/him, and to some extent whether its a state or private school. Colorado offered very little for my older daughter who was then in music theatre, but two smaller schools made excellent offers to her (one- in state tuition rate for her even though she was from CA and the school was in the midwest, another private school would have been cheaper than any in-state rate). My youngest wanted engineering schools, all in California. The UC Santa Cruz offered her a Regents Scholarship ($20k over 4 years), UCLA, UC SB, UC SD and USC offered her nothing. She chose UCLA and after admission was awarded $5k per year. The Cal State schools here don't offer much to anyone but they are all pretty reasonably priced, and if your kid does the first 2 years at a Community College those years are essentially free.
 
This budget bill they are passing now has massive cuts to the Pell Grant and eliminates subsidized student loans. Their is no telling what else is in it, anything that helps anyone who is in need or help. I hope it doesn't affect you. It really is unbelievable in the United States of America, this piece of filth could be passed. This budget will start Oct. 1st.
