Financial Aid Information

While in Washington, program participants remain fully registered University of Mississippi students and pay UM tuition.  Students receiving financial aid continue to do so while participating in the program.  Appropriate adjustments are made to compensate for the increased cost of travel and living in Washington.  Housing is arranged by the program and charged to each student’s University account.  We make every effort to ensure that no student will be denied the opportunity to participate in the Washington program due to financial need.
