Financial Aid Piece

All admitted students are considered for merit scholarships. Need-based grants, student loans and other financial aid opportunities depend on your background and demonstrated need.

Students wishing to apply for need-based financial aid must complete the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) after Oct. 1.

We encourage you to file the FAFSA® even if you think you won’t qualify for financial assistance. Students and parents should request a Federal Student Aid ID at fsaid.ed.gov and then submit the FAFSA with Millsaps College code 002414.
