SCHS Costs and Financial Aid
How much does Summer College cost?
Once admitted, every Summer College applicant must pay a non-refundable application/activity fee. This fee covers the University of Mississippi’s one-time application fee and reserves a student’s place in the Summer College.
The primary costs include tuition, housing, and a required meal plan. Secondary costs include books, supplies, course fees (if applicable), and any charges incurred at the Student Health Center while here. Students will need money for weekend meals and miscellaneous costs while living on campus (laundry, snacks, etc.).

Is financial aid available?
Absolutely! Family finances should not prevent a qualified student from applying to the Summer College. Financial aid is available for the primary costs listed above. However, financial aid is not available for the secondary costs. Every student must pay the SCHS registration fee after being accepted (financial aid offer is provided before this money is due).
There are two types of financial aid available to Summer College participants: need-based aid and academic achievement scholarships. Need-based financial aid is based on the parent/guardian income tax return. Students interested in need-based aid should complete the financial aid form after applying for admission.

Academic achievement scholarships are awarded based on standardized test scores (see chart below) and participation in Ole Miss Academic Competitions. Students must take the ACT or SAT and have their scores on their high school transcripts (or send a copy of their score report to our office) in order to receive an academic achievement scholarship. Students offered a scholarship through the Office of Academic Competitions, or eligible for an academic achievement scholarship, are not required to complete the financial aid application unless seeking additional need-based aid.
| ACT Scores | SAT Scores* | Academic Achievement Scholarship |
| 33-36 | 1440-1600 | Full program fee scholarship ($2, 000) |
| 30-32 | 1330-1430 | $1,500 off program fee |
| 27-29 | 1210-1320 | $1,000 off program fee |
*Only the Math and Verbal sections will be considered for scholarships on the SAT.
