Summer 2013 Financial Aid
Students who plan to enroll and request financial aid for Summer School 2013 should file the online MSU Summer 2013 Financial Aid Request Form. This online form will be made available via MyBanner on 4/2/2013. Students who have not already done so, should also file the current school year (2012-2013) Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA).
The online Summer Request Form can only be submitted once. If you need to make any changes after this form has been submitted, you will need to complete the online Summer Change Request Form, which will be available 4/22/2013.
Both of these forms can be accessed online under the Financial Aid section by logging into your myState account (my.msstate.edu).

Graduate/Professional Students - Stafford Loan Eligibility
Only the Federal Direct Unsubsidized Stafford loan will be available for Graduate and Professional students for the 2012 -2013 academic year. Due to Federal law, Graduate and Professional students are no longer eligible for the Subsidized Stafford loan. This new law is effective for loan periods that begin on or after July 1, 2012.
The total combined annual Stafford loan limit of $20,500 for Graduate students did not change. Graduate and Professional students may borrow the amount that they would have received in Subsidized Stafford loan in Unsubsidized Stafford loan. For example, a Graduate student who in previous years received an $8,500 Subsidized Stafford loan and a $12,000 Unsubsidized Stafford loan will now receive $20,500 in Unsubsidized Stafford loan.
