New state financial aid requirements
The Institutions of Higher Learning (IHL) has announced changes regarding financial aid funds issued by the state. The changes apply to Mississippi residents only.
UPDATE: Nine hours per trimester remains the full-time requirement to receive state aid. It was previously reported the new requirement would be 10 hours.
Forgivable loan programs will only be awarded to renewal applicants. This includes William Winter and all of the nursing funds.
No forgivable loans will be awarded for the Graduate Teacher Scholarship, School and Counselor Administrator, Health Care Professions, and Nursing Teacher Stipend.
