Hi folks, I'm wondering if anyone here has current info about tuition costs at Mississippi State University? I want to start budgeting for college, and this is one of the schools I'm considering. Any insight into financial aid or scholarships would also be very appreciated. Cheers.
The tuition rates can vary depending on if you're an in-state or out-of-state student at Mississippi State University (MSU). As of the 2024-2025 school year, in-state students can expect to pay around $10,202 for tuition, while out-of-state students can expect to pay around $27,637 for tuition. These costs do not include other expenses like room and board, books, or other fees.
When it comes to financial aid, the first step would definitely be to fill out the FAFSA (Free Application for Federal Student Aid) to receive your Student Aid Index (SAI), which determines eligibility for federal aid. In addition to federal aid, MSU offers a variety of scholarships.
It's wise to take advantage of the net price calculator on the MSU website which will give a more precise estimation of what you'd pay after scholarships and grants based on your family's financial situation. Remember, financial aid comes in many forms – scholarships, grants, work-study, and loans. Planning ahead and understanding the financial commitment is a great way to mitigate future stress!
