Jubilee Scholars Program

The Jubilee Scholars Program is designed for sophomore students at the University of Southern Mississippi. When Jubilee Scholars begin their sophomore year, they will receive a $1,500 scholarship and will become part of a program with intentional mentoring and staff guidance of their development. Scholars will participate in programming related to professional development, career exploration, and academic success. Scholars who continue to meet all program requirements will then continue to receive a Jubilee scholarship for their junior and senior years, with the obligation to participate in more advanced professional and academic development events as well as to serve as a mentor to sophomore students. Full participation in all programming is required to remain in good standing for this scholarship.
