Financial Aid

Most federal student aid applicants will be eligible for some form of financial assistance through the federal student aid programs regardless of demonstrated financial need.

For eligibility to be determined, federal student aid applicants must file a Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) each year. Visit the MSU Financial Aid website below for more information and additional resources.
