<p>Does anyone know how the Stamps Scholarships work? Have invitations for interviews already been given? I was told that there are not interviews for Honors College Scholarships this year, but I assumed there would be for Stamps. Any info would be greatly appreciated!</p>
<p>TIA!</p>
<p>My D says that the seven students nominated for the Stamps Scholarships have already been notified. Sorry!</p>
<p>No worries! Thanks for the information!</p>
<p>Apollo6 why did they only offer 7 Stamps scholarships? I was not expecting my child to receive one but it makes me wonder if other scholarships work they same way. If those 7 decline the offer (I can’t imagine!) will the scholarship roll to someone else?</p>
<p>Apparently they are shooting for 5 acceptances out of the 7. Last year they offered 8 and 6 accepted, one more than they were planning on. The expense is evenly divided between the university and the Stamps Foundation so it is a very expensive endeavor. I don’t know how the other scholarships work but overall, University of Mississippi is one of the most generous schools I have ever encountered. The automatic merit for high ability OOS students is amazing in a public university!</p>
<p>^^ Oh yes I agree Ole Miss is very generous and my student fell in love with the beautiful campus and strong academic programs. </p>
<p>Apollo6 when was your student notified about merit scholarships? The Academic Excellence, Holmes and Technology were in December but what about departmental and special programs?</p>
<p>I believe that all the other scholarships are awarded between mid February and mid March so that students have the opportunity to consider them before notifications by other universities. </p>
