Mississippi State University's Summer Scholars Program is funded primarily by camp tuition.  The sponsor for Summer Scholars is Office of Pre-College and Opportunity Programs in the MSU Division of Access, Opportunities, and Success. Yearly, the director of the program submits a grant proposal, which has been graciously received for the past several years, to the Mississippi Arts Commission for program support.
