MTAG – Mississippi Tuition Assistance Grant

The Mississippi Tuition Assistance Grant offers financial support to state residents who are attending approved public and private non-profit two-year and four-year colleges and universities within Mississippi. Designed to expand educational opportunities, the program targets students pursuing their first certificate, associate degree, or bachelor degree who do not already receive the maximum level of federal need-based assistance. Recipients must maintain continuous full-time enrollment and meet specific academic benchmarks, including grade point average requirements and standardized test scores. Funding is distributed based on class standing, with distinct tiers for underclassmen and upperclassmen. Eligible participants can receive this assistance for a maximum of eight semesters or until they complete their degree, whichever comes first, provided they submit a renewal application each academic year.
