Finding money to pay for college shouldn’t be a discouraging process. The federal government awards billions of dollars every year to help students pay for college. During the Fall 2012 semester, approximately 8.5 out of 10 MSCC degree-seeking students qualified for some form of financial assistance, including scholarships and grants. The Financial Aid Office at Mid-South Community College will help you navigate the process to get all the financial
aid you are eligble to receive.
There are four main types of financial aid:
Scholarships are private monies that are made available to students from various local community groups, corporate donors, families/individuals, and Mid-South Community College. You do not have to repay scholarships.
