The University of Mississippi-DeSoto Center campus announces the academic excellence and leadership scholarships available to deserving Northwest Community College, Southwest TN Community College, and Mid-South Community College transfer students who will begin their junior-level course work at UM-DeSoto in the fall semester. UM-DeSoto is also offering scholarships for educators in local school districts, interested in pursuing a Master's degree.
Half-tuition scholarships are available to community college transfer students who are majoring in numerous areas. Students, from any major, who have demonstrated exemplary leadership skills throughout their academic career, may be eligible to receive leadership scholarships as well.
Current teachers interested in seeking a Master's of Education in Curriculum and Instruction and those who may be interested in a Master's degree in Higher Education are also encouraged to apply for half-tuition scholarships to cover graduate-level tuition.
"These scholarships help make college degrees a reality for students who would not otherwise attend an institution of higher learning," said Ashley Gray, Coordinator of Student Services at UM-DeSoto. "This is an amazing financial opportunity for interested students. They can come to UM-DeSoto to earn an outstanding education, right here at home."
