    Did you know that you may qualify for FREE money for college? All you have to do is complete the FAFSA and the Mississippi State Financial Aid Application. The FAFSA is the Free Application for Federal Student Aid that allows students to apply for the Pell Grant, Work-Study, and loans. The MS Financial Aid Application allows students to apply for MTAG, MESG, and the HELP Grant.

    Every year, almost three billion dollars go unclaimed simply because students and parents do not complete the FAFSA. There are even some schools that won't distribute other scholarship funds without a completed FAFSA on file, so be sure to complete the application by the March 31st deadline!!

    Remember, the FAFSA does not obligate you to accept any financial aid that you do not want (this includes loans). Instead, the FAFSA helps determine your eligibility for money from the State of Mississippi, some colleges and universities, and even some private scholarship funds! 

    To complete the FAFSA, please click the link below, create an FSA ID, and complete the application. If you need assistance, you may either contact your child's counselor or schedule a private appointment with Get2College at 601-321-5532.
