The SAT/ACT is not required, but if an applicant has an SAT or ACT score, they are welcome to send it to UM (School Code: 1840). Students with very high scores may be eligible for additional scholarship funds, and strong performance on the SAT/ACT can waive some math prerequisites.
If you are eligible for one of our scholarships, once you have been accepted for admission to the University of Mississippi, you will receive an award letter based on your GPA and English score.
International Academic Excellence awards are automatic and do not require a supplemental application!
