I wanted to make sure you were aware of a new scholarship opportunity for Mississippi students called the Ole Miss Opportunity scholarship. Students only have to meet some specific criteria:

1. Mississippi resident and United States citizen
2. New full time, degree seeking freshman beginning in 2010
3. Family Adjusted Gross Income (as defined on the 2009 federal tax return) at or below $30,000
4. Confirmation that the student will qualify for a Pell Grant, as determined by the 2010-11 FAFSA (we need on file by Feb. 15)
5. Must apply to Ole Miss by March 1
6. High school grade-point average of 2.5 or higher
