The University of Miami offers both merit and need-based aid to international students; to apply for need-based aid you must submit the CSS Profile by the deadlines. The pages are silent on need-blind admission and on Premier Scholarship eligibility for international students.
Getting in. The school admits 18.9% of applicants. Admitted students scored around Reading and Writing 660–730, Math 660–750, ACT 30–33. The SAT and ACT are optional: a score counts if you send one, and you can still apply without it. The school has not published a minimum English score. If the English score is not there yet, the school can still admit conditionally.
Cost for a year. One year comes to 104,091 USD, before any scholarship. 1 scholarship is confirmed for international students, but nothing is taken off yet because the amount of each one is not clear. Health insurance is 4,483 USD a year.
Deadline and visa. The application deadline is 1/11. You apply through Common Application. How long the visa takes is up to the consulate; see the country note.

Scholarships and aid for international students
- Is merit considered automatically with the application?UnclearThe pages say every applicant is automatically considered for an academic scholarship with no separate application, but they don't mention international students specifically, so it's not certain this applies to you.
- Is admission need-blind for international applicants?UnclearThe pages provided say nothing about whether admission decisions for international students take ability to pay into account, so no conclusion can be drawn.
- Is the CSS Profile or a school aid form required?YesThe finaid page states international students must submit the CSS Profile to be considered for need-based institutional aid (the FAFSA is only for U.S. citizens and eligible nonresidents).
