We want to nourish your enthusiastic spirit here, in and outside of the classroom, and value all that you bring. For these reasons, Ole Miss awards scholarships to freshman students based on their academic achievements, individual talents, and demonstrated ability to lead and empower others.
In fostering opportunity for all prospective students, the Office of Financial Aid considers all admitted freshmen for scholarship programs. However, competitive scholarships, as well as academic and enrichment programs, require you to fill out and submit a separate application for consideration. Learn more about scholarships and other financial aid opportunities for incoming freshmen.
Additionally, when appropriate, we factor in your financial need when determining scholarship and financial aid awards. For Mississippi and out-of-state residents, our Red & Blue Scholarship is individually calculated to help meet a set percentage of your financial need as a first-time, full-time freshman after all other awards are considered. As long as your eligibility is maintained, this scholarship can be renewed for up to three more academic years. Learn more about the Red & Blue Scholarship.
For some individuals, the passion to learn increases with age. You seek out all sorts of enriching experiences, and acknowledging your mission and drive, the University of Mississippi opens certain classes to individuals age 65 and older. Learn more about applying to take a class at our institution and the financial aid options available to adult learners.
As you evaluate your options, Ole Miss presents multiple resources for determining your cost of attendance, be it as an undergraduate or graduate student, full- or part-time, or in a specific program. While you may be assessing the tuition, we aim to provide a thorough perspective with both direct and indirect costs factored in, including housing, meal plans, additional fees, books and supplies, and travel expenses. Review the cost of attendance by academic year.
As a prospective student, do you have any questions about financial aid at the University of Mississippi? If so, reach out to the Office of Financial Aid today by phone at 800-891-4596 or by sending an email to fin...@olemiss.edu.

This is the fifth story in a multi-part series examining the effects of the Afghanistan and Iraq wars on the 2.6 million American troops who served and fought. Find the full results of a nationwide survey of active-duty troops and veterans here.
He returned to his desk, put on headphones and began searching an online job board for the next solution to try. Maybe he could fix diesel engines. Maybe he could work security or start his own firing range.
What he missed about Afghanistan were not the mortars that dropped down each night from the summit of Abas Ghar mountain, or the IEDs that ripped through Humvees and sometimes legs, or the 65 pounds of gear and body armor he humped everywhere in 110-degree heat, or the fleas and tarantulas that shared the dusty shack they called an outpost, or the politics of a war he had mostly signed up to fight in the first place because he was laid off from an oil rig in a down economy with a baby on the way.
And Winters was living with a new wife in a new town, Rock Springs, population 23,000 strangers, only because a relative had offered a good deal on a used trailer and there was no place better to go. He had grown up on the other side of the state. His nearest friend lived two counties east; his closest fellow soldier was 300 miles away in Denver. Only a few relatives had visited their trailer and only then on Thanksgiving. It was at the edge of a small trailer park in the desolate expanse of southwestern Wyoming, where the wind whipped down from the mountains, carried over the high desert, and invaded the trailer despite the towels they stuffed under the doors. People had always come to Rock Springs to start over and to search for something: gold, coal, oil or natural gas. It was a boom-and-bust town, a place of reinvention, and now Winters had come searching, too.
Maybe he would find it at an oil rig, where he signed up for a three-week hitch hoping for camaraderie, a shared purpose and some practical jokes. But this time, the joke turned out to be his PTSD, and co-workers banged pipes at night to startle him.
Maybe at the community college, where he enrolled and then dropped out a few weeks later, after a professor who had never cleaned blood off a Humvee interrupted him during a discussion about war to correct his grammar.
She sat on the couch, and he stayed in the recliner. She played solitaire, and he went back to Facebook. This had been the rhythm of so many of their nights since they met at a house party two years earlier, an instant attraction that continued to surprise them both. She had been only 19 then, beautiful, smart and sometimes a bit naive, an aspiring elementary school teacher from a religious family in small-town Wyoming. He was more than a decade older, divorced and drinking too much, but she also thought he was the sweetest listener she had ever met.
Their truck climbed over a hill, and Winters rolled down his window, letting the cold air hit his face as he stared at a view of snow and sky that ran clear into Utah. He could see no other cars, no people or houses. Maybe the best way to manage a life of isolation was to choose it.
