Help Ole Miss Students in Crisis Continue Their Education
Life is unpredictable, and unforeseen hardships can disrupt a student's education. The Christopher C. Holman Memorial Fund ensures that when students face a crisis, they are not alone. Whether it’s a medical emergency, a natural disaster, or the unexpected loss of a loved one, this fund helps students stay focused on their education during difficult times.
Why We Need Your Help
Since its creation, the Holman Memorial Fund has helped Ole Miss students navigate crises that might have otherwise forced them to pause or abandon their studies. Your support ensures that more students will have access to immediate financial assistance during an emergency.
As one recipient shared: "There was severe unrest in my home country following the overthrow of the government. My father's factory was burned down, our primary source of income was lost, and I wasn’t sure I could continue my education. With the help of UMatter and the Holman Fund, I was able to focus on my studies and maintain my GPA despite the overwhelming challenges."
Make a Difference Today
The Holman Endowment was created by the Holman sisters in memory of their father, Christopher C. Holman, to provide emergency support for students who experience unexpected hardships. We invite the entire Ole Miss community—students, alumni, faculty, and friends—to contribute to this cause and help students continue toward degree completion, no matter what life throws their way.
Please make a gift today! Every dollar makes a difference, and your generosity can provide students with the resources they need when life’s challenges arise.
