Mississippi Pell Grants and Participating Education Institutions
The Mississippi Pell Grant is available to Mississippi state resident undergraduate students studying towards a baccalaureate or first professional degree. In order to qualify to receive the Pell Grant, Mississippi students must prove a need for financial aid and be enrolled at an education institution that participates in the Federal Student Aid Program.
The maximum level of Pell grant award available to Mississippi students for the 2011/2012 academic year is $5,710, and the minimum is $550. The level of award that Mississippi students receive will depend on their enrolment status and Expected Family Contributions.
Mississippi students can use the federal Pell grant at any of the participating education institutions across the United States. However, if studying out of state, they should expect to pay out-of state tuition fees. As a result, because students would be Mississippi residents, their Pell grant awards and any additional federal and Mississippi state funded college grants they receive will not stretch as far as they would if studying at one of Mississippi’s education institutions.
