• Program Description: The Academic Common Market (ACM) is a cooperative agreement allowing residents of a participating state to pursue academic degree programs not offered in their home states without having to pay out-of-state tuition charges. The 16 participating states include AL, AR, DE, FL, GA, KY, LA, MD, MS, OK, SC, TN, VA and WV.
• Award Amount: Participation in ACM at Ole Miss allows qualified students to receive a scholarship that covers the non-resident fee in full. As a result, participants pay the in-state tuition only, similar to MS residents. (Please note that this award cannot be combined with any other award that specifically pays for the non-resident fee.)
• Eligibility: Non-resident students from a state participating in ACM. Must major in one of the following degree programs: Bachelor of Science in Forensic Chemistry, Bachelor of Science in Geological Engineering OR Bachelor Arts in Southern Studies. Eligibility for programs offered by The University of Mississippi is determined by the state in which the student resides. All states and/or degree programs within ACM are not necessarily approved at the undergraduate level at The University of Mississippi. Students should use the Southern Regional Education Board (SREB) website to determine whether they will be eligible for ACM.
