School of Education

This is for Now. This is for Ever. This is for the School of Education.

For Cultivating Leaders and Transforming Lives

The vision of the School of Education is changing the future of Mississippi and beyond. As the largest producer of classroom teachers, school administrators, school counselors, and higher education professionals in Mississippi, our faculty, graduates, and students have an exponential impact now and ever.

Today, your support for scholarships, fellowships, faculty, innovative programs, and expansion of our national models for early childhood education will create a brighter future for children, families, our communities, Mississippi, and the world.

For Accelerating Prominence and Elevating Excellence

Our innovative scholarship and fellowship programs attract and support talented and diverse educators who transform lives and build pathways to equity and achievement; bring more professionals to Mississippi schools who can help children find brighter futures; and elevate and accelerate the important role the School of Education has in teaching, learning, and service.

Together, we will expand faculty, scholarships, and transformational learning experiences at the School of Education.

Your gift goes further on Giving Day! Several members of the Ole Miss Family are challenging you to make a difference in the lives of Education students. Maximize your impact by answering these challenges and helping us unlock critical resources. Your gift - no matter the size - makes a difference.
