About Financial Aid
You are encouraged to apply for financial aid regardless of your family’s income level. Many factors affect eligibility, such as household income, household size and poverty level. Your offer could be made up of a combination of different types of aid, including grants, scholarships and federal work-study funds.
Even if you don’t believe you are eligible, take the time to apply for financial assistance. You might be surprised to find out assistance is available.
Need help? Call us at 601.974.1220 or email us!
For an estimate of your federal financial aid, you can use the Federal Student Aid Estimator on the Federal Student Aid website. This tool estimates the Student Aid Index (SAI) and the federal aid for which you may qualify.
