A little more than 80% of students at the University of Mississippi receive some form of financial aid or scholarships. Private donor support enables many students to pursue their dreams and succeed in the face of adversity. Please make a gift to support Ole Miss First!
Your $250 donation covers the admission fee for all 40 Ole Miss First scholars to tour the Mississippi Civil Rights Museum in Jackson.
Your $500 donation pays for every member of the Ole Miss First cohort to purchase a ticket to the most technologically advanced music museum in the South. Scholars will learn about Mississippi's role as the birthplace of popular American music.

Nearly 20 years ago, then-Ole Miss Chancellor Robert C. Khayat envisioned a program that provided deserving students who wanted to attend UM with the financial help needed to do so while also welcoming them into the Ole Miss family with mentorship and support. Ole Miss First was born. One $5,000 gift can meet the goal for the Ole Miss First Experiential Learning Fund. Give to honor Khayat's vision and help all our scholars grow today!
