About the Scholarship

Ole Miss adds $8,000, paid at $2,000 a year, for international students entering one of 22 named STEM degrees with a 3.5 grade average and an SAT of 1300.

The award offsets the non-resident fee, which normally signals a domestic-only award. Here it does not: the university states international students are charged the out-of-state rate, so the fee is one they genuinely pay.

Its eligibility rests on the page it sits on rather than a sentence naming it, which makes the evidence weaker than for the university's main international awards.

What It Covers

Fees

$8,000 in total, paid at $2,000 a year toward the non-resident fee. The university states international students are charged the out-of-state tuition rate, so this offsets a fee they actually pay.

Eligibility

A grade average of at least 3.5 with an SAT of 1300 or an ACT of 28, entering one of 22 named STEM degrees spanning physics, geology, chemistry, mathematics, biochemistry, biology, computer science and seven engineering disciplines.

Eligible Countries

The university states admitted international undergraduates are automatically considered for its International Academic Excellence and test-score scholarships, on its Office of Global Engagement scholarships page. This award carries no sentence of its own and sits under a heading introducing other scholarship opportunities for international students, so its eligibility rests on the page rather than on the award.
