International students are a valued part of Miami University's student body and campus community. Situations can arise when an international student (undergraduate or graduate) needs financial support to survive an emergency or sudden financial shortfall. This fund provides modest grants to help students overcome these challenges in order to successfully complete their degree programs.

International students bring a global perspective to the Miami University community, and we are committed to their success. The ability to assist international students who are far away from home and experiencing unexpected financial difficulties will help to ensure that these students are able to successfully complete their academic journey at Miami University.

International students can face a variety of challenges while studying in the United States from natural disasters to struggling family businesses back in their home countries. Emmanuel Acheampong, a doctoral candidate in Educational Leadership, accepted a gift from the International Student and Scholar Services’ #MoveInMiami fund to pay for groceries and winter clothing after he sent most of his stipend home to Ghana to help cover fees for his father’s funeral. Read more.
