Financial Aid

UM-Booneville and The UM Office of Financial Aid administer a variety of financial assistance programs designed to help students and their families meet the costs of attending The University. Three basic types of student financial assistance are scholarships, grants, and loans.

Scholarships are gift programs that do not have to be repaid. They are typically awarded in recognition of significant achievement or academic talent. UM-Booneville offers numerous scholarships to help you finance your education. We urge you to apply for as many scholarships as you qualify for.

Grants are gift aid that do not have to be repaid. Grants usually require a demonstration of financial need.

Loans are funds that have to be repaid with interest.

Applying for need based financial aid:

• Completion of the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) application is required for all forms of financial aid that you might apply for.
• Be sure to include the University of Mississippi school code on your FAFSA: 002440.
