The Ultimate Scholarship Guide: University of Mississippi

The Ultimate Scholarship Guide: University of Mississippi

Nov 25, 2022

The University of Mississippi offers competitive scholarships for international undergraduate and ESL students.

It’s scholarship season at the University of Mississippi (Ole Miss)! Ole Miss offers competitive scholarships for international undergraduate and ESL students and is committed to making higher education accessible to as many students as possible. 

The University of Mississippi is passionate about supporting its international student community. Study abroad students can apply for scholarships that are available to all students as well as scholarships dedicated specifically to international students.  

Which scholarships are available to international students? 

With so many international scholarship opportunities available, where should you begin? The University of Mississippi has scholarships for the general international student population and scholarships specifically for students in the Intensive English Program. Let’s take a look at both:

Intensive English Program scholarships

Refer-a-Friend Discount

If you’ve been enrolled in the International English Program (IEP) for at least one semester AND you bring a family member or friend to study as a full-time IEP student, you will receive $250 off tuition for Intensive English classes. Additionally, the friend or family member you invite will also receive $250 off tuition for their first session.

Alumni Referral Discount

If you were referred to the IEP by a family member or friend who has graduated from the IEP, you will receive $250 off tuition for Intensive English (IE) classes during your first session. 

Materials Scholarship

If awarded this scholarship, you will receive a scholarship valued at $250 to be applied to your “tuition and materials” balance, which will cover the cost of all textbooks for a semester.

The Brenda Hales Honorary Tuition Reduction Scholarship

In honor of the teaching career of Brenda Hales, a former IEP instructor, the IEP offers a 20% tuition-only scholarship to prospective and current IEP students. There are up to four tuition-reduction scholarships available each semester. Receive 20% off tuition each semester you’re enrolled in the IEP!

The Jonatas Lima Memorial Scholarship

The largest scholarship that the IEP at Ole Miss offers, the Jonatas Lima Memorial Scholarship provides funding for one student, fully covering tuition and fees for up to two semesters.

General International Undergraduate Student Scholarships

International Academic Excellence (IAE) scholarships are divided into four levels based on academic performance. The great thing is that international students are automatically considered for these scholarships when you apply for admission. These are the requirements and benefits for each level:

IAE Level 1: Required GPA between 3.25–3.49 

  • Tuition: $1,900
  • Non-resident fee: $3,000

  • Total: $9,500 per year
  • 35% of tuition and non-resident fees

IAE Level 3: Required GPA between 3.75–3.89 

  • Tuition: $4,500

Tolulope Uwaya Nigeria

I’ve always wanted to live in another country, but I always thought that was not possible for me. When I start following Study in USA, I saw that it’s not that hard. All the emails that most people think it’s not important, it was very important to me because it showed me my options and how to do it, now I planned everything and I’m very happy with that.
