Financial Aid & Scholarship Opportunities

We understand the importance of acquiring scholarships and financial aid.

LendEDU nationally recognized Southern Miss in 2019 for having one of the lowest student loan debt figures in the country – and the #1 lowest in Mississippi!
USM is one of the most valuable college options for many out-of-state students. Out-of-state students only pay $1,000 each semester in addition to the tuition rate charged to Mississippi students.

Redefining the Pinnacle of Success

Extra first-year support is available to Golden Eagles through special living-learning spaces like JUMP and ACES, and the University’s Center for Student Success is a frontline resource for keeping students on the timely path toward graduation.

Southern Miss Career Services connects students with part-time jobs, choosing a major, career employment strategies and job fairs.
