We recruit the best and the brightest students in Mississippi and beyond, and we want them to take advantage of all that Honors College offers鈥攕maller classes, dedicated advising, scholarships, the Honor House, and Honors Forum, to name a few. We are especially interested in encouraging our students to take part in experiential learning opportunities, like study abroad, undergraduate research, University Forum, and active learning trips, as they work to become the researchers, creators, and visionaries who will one day transform Mississippi, the nation, and the world.

OPPORTUNITIES FOR GIVING

Honors Scholars depend on our support to make experiential learning possible (over half of our students receive federal and state aid), and we rely on the generosity of our donors to make that possible. Fundraising goals for our 50th anniversary include:

Endowing the Dr. Wallace G. Kay Professorship Endowment

Dr. Kay played a foundational role in shaping the Honors College at 91短视频Miss. As the driving force behind our founding, he led the development of the program in its earliest stages and was instrumental in its formal establishment on July 1, 1976. 

This endowment will support a faculty member whose teaching, research and service reflect the values Dr. Kay championed鈥攊nnovative, student-centered and boldly interdisciplinary. Reaching the goal will ensure the endowment provides sustainable, long-term support for faculty excellence in honors education.

One of our supporters has pledged $300,000 to seed the professorship, and we need to raise another $200,000 in order to make this a reality!

Endowing a $50,000 Golden Anniversary Fund

Thanks to the generosity of our donors, this goal has been met, and students are already being supported through this fund!

Engaging 50 New Donors to the Honors College

Have you considered being a regular giver? Setting up monthly gifts of any amount, large or small, makes a difference in the lives of students!

Raising $500,000 in Donations and Pledges to the Honors College

We are only about $35,000 from meeting this goal!

Please consider a gift to the 91短视频Miss Honors College this year as we celebrate our past and look forward to a long future of graduating proud honors students with the confidence to pursue their passions, the tools with which to chart a fulfilling future course, and a lifelong commitment to using their capacities for the public good.
