What is Ole Miss First?
Ole Miss First is a university-wide initiative, implemented by Chancellor Robert Khayat, that addresses the most critical need of the 21st century—scholarships. Each Ole Miss First scholarship is based on a pledge of $5,000 per year for five years, for a total of $25,000, to cover eight semesters of tuition for an undergraduate student. Scholarship endowments can also be created at the $100,000 level and will be awarded in perpetuity. Ole Miss First scholarships are unique in that each scholar is assigned a mentor during his or her tenure at Ole Miss.
