Your gift has the power to change the world.
You already know that we are dedicated to preparing our students to be strong, capable, and ready to transform the future of our world. But you may not know exactly how we can use your gift to make that happen.
Your donations ensure Miami continues to thrive.
When you make a gift to Miami University, you further education and research, fund student scholarships and service missions, and make sure our faculty has the tools they need to teach. You support current students and create life-changing opportunities for the entire university community. Each gift helps keep Miami innovative, inclusive, and at the forefront of educational excellence for generations to come.
Miami has the resources of a very large institution … If I went to an Ivy League school, a lot of my work would be reserved for a graduate student. Miami’s access to different resources is what’s really helped me get to where I am right now.

When you go to Miami … Love and Honor is woven into every part of campus. It really is just a community environment, and that doesn’t stop when you graduate — which has just been such a blessing.

Coming to Miami was the best decision I could have possibly made for myself and my future. I came into college not really sure of what I wanted to do, but going through classes and going through Miami’s curriculum, I was able to find my passions.
