Heads up, Bulldogs! 📢

If you are a Mississippi resident who receives State of Mississippi Financial Aid, those awards will not appear on next week's billing statement.

There's no need to worry! State aid awards are still being processed by the Mississippi Office of Student Financial Aid. As soon as Mississippi State University receives notification of your award, it will be applied to your MSU account as a pending payment.

Please continue to monitor your MSU account as well as your MAAPP Portal for updates.
