Ole Miss First
Future scholars and leaders need your help to succeed!

 

Ole Miss First provides scholarships to some of the University of Mississippi’s best students, along with career and life mentoring, cultural experiences and more.

 

Over the years, the program has attracted talented, deserving students from Mississippi and other states. They’ve won Taylor Medals, led the University in student government, earned Phi Beta Kappa honors and even achieved the nation’s top honors as Truman and Rhodes Scholars.

 

Today, you can invest in this enriching scholarship and mentoring program. Consider:

  • The scholarships are funded by generous donors like you who understand the program’s mission to support outstanding young people as they prepare for the future.
  • The Ole Miss First program goes beyond a tuition check, beyond grades, beyond academic prerequisites and elective hours. We help our students succeed.
  • Your Giving Day gift might be only the beginning. Some of our donors choose to establish their own scholarship funds or endowments. The scholarships are often named in honor or memory of a person who personifies the Ole Miss First spirit of leadership, scholarship and service. Donors often develop personal relationships with the Ole Miss First scholars.

Giving Day is the perfect time to plant a seed and watch it grow! Help Ole Miss continue to attract the best of the best with a gift to the Ole Miss First program. This is an all-hands-on-deck effort.

Please make a gift! Thank you!
