Three Southern Miss transfer students receive Jubilee Scholarships | Schools

Three Pine Belt area transfer students have received full scholarships to The University of Southern Mississippi through the University’s Jubilee Scholarship Program.

Sarah “Katie” Folkes is a recent graduate of Jones County Junior College; Jaci Aymond earned her two-year degree from Pearl River Community College, while Hayley Moreland graduated from Mississippi Gulf Coast Community College.

The scholarships are payable over two years and funded by the Jubilee Scholarship Program which was established in 2009 following an anonymous donation of $6 million to the University. Among the few stipulations of the donation were that: 1) much of the money be used for women and minority students and 2) that the donor must remain anonymous.
