Tuition
Miami waives all tuition for Summer Field Earth Expeditions courses required for GFP. It also provides approximately an equivalent to 75% tuition discount for web-based course cost. Under the current financial model, candidates who enroll this year will save more than $12,000 (in-state)/$24,000 (out-of-state) in tuition for the degree.
Offsetting Costs
With tuition waived or reduced as part of Miami University's support for this program, each GFP course is offered at a fraction of actual costs. Applicants to the program should check with their school district or employer to see if professional development funds are available to further offset costs. Additional tips for grants can be found on the GFP grant tips page. Grant Tips
