<p>University of Miami sounds like a really good school to go to. The thing is though it's a bit pricey with it being a priavte school and all. What types pf financial aids are offered and how many people receive them?</p>

<p>Approximately 85% of students receive some form of financial aid at UM. This is need based as well as merit aid. The FAFSA and its resulting EFC come into play for need based aid, as always.</p>
