Mississippi University for Women is now offering one application that qualifies students for four different scholarships, including one full-tuition scholarship.
“With the Premier Scholarship initiative, The W has combined the selection processes of four of our most competitive scholarships into a single application,” said David Brooking, executive director of enrollment management. “We know that a big part of being successful in college is finding the right fit. The Premier Scholarship application supports this by connecting students with the most valuable opportunities and experiences available.”
To receive the Centennial Scholarship or Honors Award Scholarship students must participate in The W’s residential honors program. The First Generation Ambassador Scholarship and W Leadership Scholarship can be combined with other select scholarships.
By completing the Premier Scholarship Application online, prospective students will be considered for one or more of the following scholarships:
■ Centennial Scholarship (full tuition, room and board, plus $5,000 Study Abroad Award)
■ Honors Award ($33,000 over four years and a one-time $2,500 award toward Study Abroad Award)
■ First Generation Ambassador Scholarship ($2,000 annually)
■ W Leadership Scholarship ($2,500 annually)
Chosen applicants will be invited to campus for interviews scheduled for Nov. 14.

Scholarship eligibility is determined by a student’s ACT or SAT score and high school college preparatory curriculum GPA. Students must also be eligible to submit the Free Application for Federal Student Aid.
To receive and renew scholarships, recipients must complete at least 12 credit hours per semester at The W and maintain a cumulative university GPA of 2.5 or higher each academic year. The total amount of institutional scholarships awarded by the university may not exceed the total cost of tuition, room, board and a book stipend.
