<p>We are grateful for the new merit aid program, but I am wondering if the money came from other sources? I see now that all mention of the previously promoted Miami Grant has been pulled from the website.</p>

<p>Previously on the web (as late as Jan. 25) and on the financial aid booklet:</p>

<p>"Miami Grant - Ohio residents admitted as new first-year Oxford campus students may be awarded a renewable Miami Grant. This is strictly a need-based grant, no academic criteria is considered. Students must file the FAFSA by February 15. In 2009-2010 the grant value ranged from $1,300 to $2,750. Roughly 60% of Ohio residents received at least the minimum amount. "</p>

<p>The above copy is no longer listed and has been pulled.</p>

<p>Wondering if this is still available now? While we personally make out better with the new merit aid program, I'm wondering if it is "right" to pull a program that has been promoted to parents/students and pulling it just prior to application deadlines?</p>

<p>Again I'm not saying that it has been pulled...I just don't see it listed anymore?</p>

<p>Interesting—Found this by searching Miami’s website (From the document Scholarship Frequently Asked Questions- Freshman -April 24, 2009)</p>

<p>More specifics on how they awarded the Miami Grant based on EFC—if it is still awarded.</p>

<p>Facts about our General Scholarships – a brief overview:</p>

MGT3 ($1300)
• EFC greater or equal to $27,257 but less than $85,000 OR Total Family Income = $100,000 or less
MGT4 ($2250)
• EFC greater or equal to $15,000 but less than $27,257

Ohio residents who complete the FAFSA by the February 15th priority date and who show financial need will receive the Miami Grant. This is a renewable award.</p>
