Apply to The Croft Institute
High School Students
Your online application to the Croft Institute takes place in two stages. First, you must apply for admission to the University of Mississippi.
Second, and after you have completed the online UM application and submitted it, you log in at the same site where you applied initially and return to your completed application. Once logged in, you will be able to access the supplementary application for the Croft Institute and other special programs, such as the Honors College, the Chinese Language Flagship Program, the Lott Leadership Institute, the Residential College, and Scholarships. The supplemental application section is divided into two parts. The first five pages/tabs - Academics, Recommenders, Resume, Personal Statement, Essay - are part of the general information that are made available to all of the programs to which you are applying. All of these pages must be completed before you can move on to the Croft application. Please read all of the instructions carefully and answer them completely.

Basic Admissions Criteria:
Successful applicants to the Croft Institute for International Studies will rank near the top of their high school class and have a composite score of 28 or higher on the ACT (or 1240 on the math and critical reading portions of the SAT) and an unweighted high school GPA of 3.50 or higher, or be valedictorian or salutatorian of their high schools. The Croft Institute encourages well rounded students with strong GPAs and students with special skills in one or more foreign languages to apply even if their test scores do not quite match the above requirements.
