Blaze your trail with generous academic scholarships.

Incoming Freshmen

Incoming freshmen are awarded academic scholarships based on a combination of their standardized test score (ACT/SAT/CLT) and their high school GPA. There is no deadline for academic scholarships, meaning this award can increase, according to our matrix, up until the time you enroll. For that reason, we encourage students to take standardized tests multiple times up until the point of enrollment.

Transfer Students

Transfer scholarships are determined by the student’s GPA. Students are eligible for transfer scholarships if they can transfer in with 12 or more hours from an accredited institution and have spent more than one full-time semester at a college or university in between high school graduation and their college entry term.

***Please note that Mississippi Christian University is a Residential School and students are required to live on campus unless they meet the requirements of Residence Life to be a commuter. The Residence Life policy is located here: https://www.mc.edu/offices/residence-life/procedures/campus-policy
