About the Scholarship

Ole Miss runs a grid of grade average against test score, from $3,000 a year up to $20,160, and it pays something even to students who submit no test at all.

That last column is the useful part. A student with a 3.75 average and no SAT or ACT still receives $8,000 a year, which is rare among American test-based tables.

It cannot be stacked with the university's International Academic Excellence tiers: whichever is worth more is the one activated. For a student with a very high grade average the Academic Excellence route pays considerably more.
