Scholarships
Freshmen
Scholarships for freshmen 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 submit:
- an application for admission
- $35 application fee
- ACT or SAT scores
- a high school transcript
Standardized Test Scores | Test scores earned through December 2011 (ACT) and January 2012 (SAT) will be considered for scholarship purposes. The written portion of the SAT is not considered.
Combining scholarships | Students may be considered for multiple Admissions-based scholarships, but only one scholarship offer may be accepted. The only exception to this is the Regional Scholarship, the award representing the full cost of nonresident tuition. Students can accept multiple scholarships offered through other departments at Southern Miss or scholarships offered through sources outside the university. Such departmental or outside scholarships may be combined with Admissions-based scholarships.
