Mississippi Scholarships
Living or studying in Mississippi qualifies you for scholarships that most students never see: statewide awards restricted to MS residents, where the applicant pool is a fraction of any national contest. These verified awards sit on top of the national scholarships and Mississippi's own state aid programs, so treat them as one layer of a larger funding plan.

Common questions
How many Mississippi scholarships are there?
Award Scholar currently lists 1 verified scholarships for Mississippi students, with amounts and deadlines checked against each sponsor's official page.
What Mississippi financial aid exists beyond scholarships?
Mississippi runs its own aid programs, including HELP Grant and MTAG & MESG, administered by Mississippi Office of Student Financial Aid. File the FAFSA (MTAG and MESG: October 15, 2026. HELP Grant: April 30, 2026.) to unlock them, then stack private scholarships on top. See the full Mississippi financial aid guide for deadlines and eligibility.
Can Mississippi students also win national scholarships?
Yes. Statewide awards restrict the applicant pool to Mississippi residents, which improves your odds, but they are one layer. Most winning students combine state-restricted awards, national scholarships that match their profile, and state aid.
When is the next deadline?
The next verified deadline in this group is February 5, 2027. Deadlines are spread across the whole year, so a miss is never fatal — new windows open every month.
