Ole Miss Giving Day

The time is now to help University of Mississippi graduates become leaders and innovators! Members of the UM community are challenging you to make a difference in the lives of students. Maximize your Giving Day impact by answering these challenges and helping us unlock critical resources. Your gift – no matter the size – makes a difference.

The Division of Outreach and Continuing Education provides UM students with high-quality, unique and tailored learning experiences. Our programs ensure student success across a lifetime of learning – from elementary years through college and into professional development and retirement. Your Giving Day contribution will increase access and allow a wider variety of Ole Miss students and stakeholders of all ages to participate in our programs.

• Gift a summer of growth and exploration to children in our Pre-College Summer Immersion Programs and Day Camps. With your help, we will offer more scholarships and enriching adventures on campus to talented K-12 students.
• The Carolyn Ellis Staton Student Travel Fund provides scholarships for Study USA faculty-led academic travel courses to students with financial needs. Immersive experiences like these allow students to explore new destinations, gain exposure to career paths and expand their worldviews.
• Your gift to the Dr. M. Lynne Murchison Scholarship will provide scholarship opportunities to keep Regional Campus students on the path to completing their undergraduate degrees at one of our five Regional Campuses (DeSoto, Tupelo, Booneville, Grenada and Rankin). The Regional Campuses provide place-bound traditional age and non-traditional adult students the opportunity to obtain university degrees and job enhancement skills.
• The UM Internship Experience provides preparation and support to Ole Miss students as they explore career paths and network in their industry through a summer internship in Mississippi or beyond. This fund helps create access to these transformational experiences for students with financial needs.
• Your gift could provide a textbook scholarship to keep a Bachelor of Multi-Disciplinary Studies student on the path to completing their uniquely designed degree. BMDS graduates pursue careers that support our state, local and national communities in several areas, including education, military, entrepreneurship, service professions, law enforcement and medical fields.

It’s easy to give! Ole Miss Giving Day accepts Apple Pay, Venmo, PayPal and all major credit cards. Consider becoming a monthly donor to build a long-term legacy!
