FIU awards merit-based scholarships to admitted first-time-in-college (FTIC) students. The Presidential Merit Scholarship recipients will have guaranteed admission to the Honors College, access to the Honors College Early Assurance Programs for the Herbert Wertheim College of Medicine, and priority registration when choosing classes. Florida resident students will receive 100 percent undergraduate tuition and fees, plus a book stipend. Non-Resident- Out-of-state students will receive merit-based tuition reduction. FIU will automatically consider students for these merit-based scholarships when they submit and complete the freshman admissions application for Early Fall/Fall by November 1 for Florida Residents and December 3 for Non-Florida Residents.
