- Federal Work-Study funds will not be available at the beginning of the semester for payment of fees. Students will be paid twice per month for the hours actually worked during the previous work period. All students awarded FWS must come to the Student Employment Office in Garner Hall to receive an interview form at the beginning of each semester. This form must be presented by the student to potential employers. If hired, the form must be filled out completely by the student and employer and returned to the Student Employment Office before actual work begins.

- State aid funds may or may not be available at registration, depending on your application and award status at the Mississippi Office of Student Financial Aid in Jackson, MS.
- No student aid funds can be disbursed into the MSU Student Account until the student has registered for the required number of classes/credit hours.
- All student aid funds (except Federal Work-Study) that are disbursed into the student's MSU Student Account will first be applied to the
amount owed to MSU by the student. If the disbursed student aid funds exceed the amount owed to MSU, then a refund/disbursement check
will be issued to the student upon request at the Account Services Office in Garner Hall no sooner than the first day of final registration (approximately
two days before classes begin each semester). Click here to view student account status.
