Jump Scholars at Southern Miss

Students who are chosen to participate will take three summer courses together before starting Southern Miss in the fall. The classes will take place in the last five weeks of the summer semester, so Jump Scholars will begin fall 2016 at Southern Miss with three classes already finished. While taking the classes together, students will also enjoy field trips, social events, and other opportunities not given to other incoming students. The Jump Program is designed to reward hard-working students and give them a chance to get ahead and benefit from a shared learning experience in a warm, friendly environment. Applicants to the Jump Scholars Program must be incoming Southern Miss first-year students with a GPA of 3.5 or higher. Space is limited, and the selection committee will look for students who are motivated to succeed in college and who have a desire to push themselves with an intensive group experience. Applications are due by March 18, 2016.
