Federal Grants and Loans
The first step in applying for federal financial aid is filling out the
Free Application for Federal Student
Aid(FAFSA). Remember, you will need a copy of your parents' tax
returns from the previous year to complete this process. Once you complete
FAFSA, you can have it sent electronically to The University of Southern
Mississippi's financial aid office to determine if you qualify for federal
grants or federal student loans. The priority deadline for applying for federal
financial aid is March 15 of each year. For more information, visit the
Southern Miss financial aid web site at
