Sponsored Students

A “Third Party Sponsorship” refers to any organization that formalizes a contract with the University and provides a financial guarantee letter assuming financial responsibility for the sponsored student(s) tuition and fees, in full or portion thereof.

To initiate the billing process, the Third Party Sponsor must establish an association between the sponsor and the University Of Miami Third Party Student Accounts.

Any authorization document from the sponsor (i.e. financial letter, student roster, letter agreement, contract, or certification) must be emailed to thirdparty.osas@miami.edu listing the following information:

  • Sponsored students’ legal name and corresponding university identification number(s)
  • Eligible charges to be covered (ex: tuition, mandatory fees)
  • Duration of time that fees will be covered
  • Any specific billing instructions

Sponsored students are credited with a “Transfer to Third Party” placeholder before payment is received. This does not mean the University has received payment from the Third Party Sponsor; it serves as a placeholder for the balance owed.

If the sponsor does not submit payment to the University, the “Transfer to Third Party” placeholder may be removed from the student account 60 days after the end of the term. The student will be responsible for the outstanding balance. A financial hold may be placed on the student account if the balance is not paid in full. The financial hold will impact registration.

Please note, that if your Third-Party Sponsor does not require a billing statement from the University please contact ‘Canes Central for further assistance.
