Mississippi Tuition Assistance Grant

Mississippi residents with one year of state residency, a minimum 2.5 high school GPA, ACT score of 15 or higher, and Pell Grant eligibility below the maximum may apply for the Mississippi Tuition Assistance Grant at approved in-state colleges and universities.

Awards of up to $1,000 per year are available for eligible students, renewable for up to eight semesters or until degree completion.

Apply through the Mississippi Aid Application Portal from October 1 through September 15, with supporting documents due October 15.

MTAG provides educational opportunities for Mississippi residents pursuing a first certificate, associate, or bachelor's degree who do not receive the full Federal Pell Grant.
