Meet Emma
What does this scholarship award mean to you?
I am beyond grateful to be selected as a recipient of this scholarship. This scholarship means to me a way that I can help afford my education while at Ole Miss. Essentially, this works towards my goal of achieving my degree while relieving financial worries from my parents or me.
Why did you choose to attend the University of Mississippi?
The University of Mississippi has a great reputation for a great academic program in education. I also was well aware of how transfer-friendly this institution is by welcoming transfer students and providing several scholarship opportunities. The University resides in a beautiful town, Oxford, that provides a thriving and lively community.
