Scholarships & Financial Aid
The University of Southern Mississippi offers generous scholarship support to scholars, leaders, National Merit Semifinalists and Finalists, and more.
Freshman Scholarships
Freshman scholarships are available to students attending Southern Miss the fall semester immediately following high school graduation. To be considered for any of these scholarships, students must have submitted an application for admission, $35 application fee, ACT/SAT scores, and a high school transcript.
Our advice to students seeking freshman scholarship is to begin the admissions process during the fall of senior year, as admission is necessary for scholarship consideration.
Transfer Scholarships
Scholarships are available to students planning to transfer to Southern Miss with 54 hours completed or in progress who meet certain criteria. Students who have previously attended Southern Miss or another 4-year college/university are not eligible for scholarships. To be considered for any of these scholarships, students must have submitted an application for admission, $35 application fee, and transcripts from all postsecondary institutions attended.
Financial Aid
The federal government is the single largest source of financial support to college students. The State of Mississippi also offers aid to qualified students.
