of transfer students, and returning undergraduate students
who are residents of Attala, Carroll, Choctaw, Montgomery
or Webster Counties in Mississippi.
E. H. Sumners Endowed Scholarship Fund recipients must reside in one of the designated counties. Residency status for dependent students will be based on their parents residing in one of the five counties for at least 12 continuous months prior to the award period; residency status for independent students will be based on the student residing in one of the five counties for at least 12 continuous months prior to the award period. Dependency status requirements for an E. H. Sumners Endowed Scholarship Fund award are the same as the requirements for federal aid. The E. H. Sumners Foundation verifies residency in the appropriate county for all applicants. Verification for the first time is often a lengthy process.
The E. H. Sumners Endowed Scholarships are awarded from Millsaps' endowed funds to full-time undergraduate academically qualified students who legally reside in one of the five counties of Mississippi. The specific amounts for awards will be determined by an annual review of available funds. E. H. Sumners Endowed Scholarships will not be awarded with other non-need based institutional funds.
Receipt of the E. H. Sumners Endowed Scholarship Fund is contingent upon meeting satisfactory academic progress requirements, as defined by federal regulation, and remaining in good standing with the college (grade point average must remain higher than a 2.0).
No person may receive the E. H. Sumners Endowed Scholarship for more than 8 semesters. Students must remain continuously enrolled at Millsaps (excluding summer terms).
The award amount is based on campus residency. Should the student decide to live off campus, the award will be reduced by 35%.
The E. H. Sumners Endowed Scholarship Fund Application must be completed annually, as well as maintaining continued legal residency in one of the five counties in Mississippi.
The E. H. Sumners Endowed Scholarship funds will not be used for summer school. Those students receiving the E. H.
