Types of Graduate Financial Aid
An Ole Miss graduate education is many things — including affordable. Scholarships, grants, and assistantships can bring a degree closer than you may think.
Scholarships
If you’re an excellent student, have pushed toward inclusivity, or overcome significant adversity, you may qualify for a scholarship. These awards reduce your tuition and do not need to be repaid.
You may qualify for the following campus scholarships:
- Advancing STEM Scholarship
- Elite Scholars Program
- MBA-Diversity Scholarship
- McNair Scholars
- Tuition Scholarships and Nonresident Fee Scholarships
Grants
Like scholarships, grants and fellowships do not need to be repaid. While some take financial need into account, others award students who show their potential to advance in their chosen fields.
Assistantships
A significant number of Ole Miss graduate students receive teaching and research assistantships. You earn a tuition scholarship and receive funds to cover your living expenses in exchange for serving as a TA, researcher, part-time instructor, or lab assistant.
The following departments and offices open these positions to graduate students:
- Center for Mathematics & Science Education
- Department of Writing & Rhetoric
- Technology Services - IT
