For an estimate of your federal financial aid for 2024-2025, you can use the Federal Student Aid Estimator on the Federal Student Aid website. This tool estimates the Student Aid Index (SAI) for 2024-2025 and the federal aid for which you may qualify.
Applying for Federal Financial Aid
There are two steps to applying for financial aid:
1

2

Submit your FAFSA at https://studentaid.gov/h/apply-for-aid/fafsa.
Millsaps School Code: 002414
NOTE: There are many changes coming to the 2024-25 FAFSA application. Because of significant changes, the 2024-25 FAFSA were not available until sometime in December 2023. The federal Department of Education has indicated that schools will start receiving students’ FAFSA results by mid-March of 2024.
To complete the FAFSA, you will need:
- Your social security number
- Your Alien Registration Number (if you are not a U.S. citizen)
- Your federal income tax returns (including schedules), W-2s and other records of money earned
- Bank statements and records of investments (if applicable)
- Records of untaxed income (if applicable)
- A Federal Student Aid ID to sign electronically.

If you are a dependent student, then you will also need most of the above information for your parent(s).
The priority deadline for financial aid is April 1. Most of the information required on the FAFSA will come from the prior-prior year’s tax return.
