Financial Aid and Scholarship Information
The School of Business recognizes the great benefits to be gained from study
abroad. Therefore, in its 2005 strategic plan, the School set the goal
of having 10 percent of its student body studying abroad by 2006. To
help students finance study abroad, the School of Business and Ole Miss Study
Abroad have several study abroad funding programs.
In most cases, students may apply their student financial aid package and
many scholarships to international study programs. Check with the Study
Abroad and/or Financial Aid for more information on how to apply your financial
aid to study abroad.

Study Abroad Scholarships
How do you apply?
Write a brief essay (300 words) explaining why this study abroad experience
will benefit your academic program. Also include a brief budget including cost
of program, airfare, extra expenses, any existing financial aid, your contribution,
and the amount you are requesting. Be sure to include the program you are choosing
and your email address so we can contact you.
Who is eligible?
Any degree-seeking University of Mississippi student who is participating
in a University of Mississippi study abroad program is eligible to apply. We
cannot award scholarships to students participating in other universities’ programs.
Also, you are not eligible if you have already received a scholarship from
the Study Abroad Office. You must have on file in our Financial Aid Office
a current Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA). We will not consider
your application unless your FAFSA is complete and current.
When is the application due?
The Study Abroad Office Scholarship is due one week before the application
deadline. No applications will be considered after this time.
