Financial Aid

Each of Mississippi’s eight institutions of higher learning offers a variety of grants, scholarships, loans, and federal work-study programs to help students finance their cost of education. State financial aid may be available.

After you have determined the institution to which you are interested in applying, you must determine the resources available to you to pay the various education expenses you will incur, such as tuition, fees, books, supplies, transportation, and other general living expenses. Possible resources available to help you fund higher education include:

• Community/civic/foundation/institution scholarships;
• Current income;
• Employee tuition reimbursement;
• Federal and local loans;
• Institution, federal, and state grants
• Personal savings; and
• Internships and work study
