Student Gift/Awards/Reimbursement
During the course of a student’s study, you may have the occasion to provide a gift or award or even provide a student with reimbursement for certain kinds of expenses. While we strongly encourage students to enrich their academic program through UM’s experiential learning initiatives, it is essential to know that these types of payments are considered “financial aid." The information contained on this site is intended to help you understand UM’s policy regarding student’s payments and how to schedule payment accordingly.

- Directly relates to the student's employment status at the University;
- Is connected to activities of a University of Miami-recognized student club or organizations.
