Nissan Scholarship

The Nissan Scholarship, provided by the Mississippi Office of State Financial Aid, is a renewable award designed for graduating high school seniors in Mississippi. To qualify, applicants must have been legal residents of the state for at least one year prior to applying. They must also score at least 20 on the ACT (or 940 on the SAT) and plan to enroll full-time at a public two-year or four-year college in Mississippi. The program of study must support the state's automotive industry.

The scholarship covers full tuition, required fees, and an allowance for books. To be considered, students must complete the state's online application and submit the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA), which the program uses to evaluate financial need and verify residency. All application materials and supporting documents must be submitted by the March 1 deadline. Recipients can renew the award for up to four years of undergraduate study.
