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!
