About Us

The Mississippi Scholastic Press Association was founded in 1947 to help student journalists statewide improve their journalistic and communication skills. We’re housed out of the University of Mississippi, and last year there were over 100 member publications statewide. 

MSPA dues are only $25 per publication, per year. Your dues pay for training materials, adviser resources, and the right to compete in all MSPA-sponsored scholastic competitions. It’s also the operating budget for our offices. Individual events will each have small registration fees.
