MAAPP is the Mississippi Aid Application. But MAAPP is more than just a form to apply for financial aid. It is also an information portal for applicants, high school counselors, and postsecondary institutions.
In MAAPP, counselors can:
- Submit student academic information, like grades and ACT scores
- Certify the HELP core curriculum
- View individual student accounts
- Generate reports to support FAFSA and MAAPP completion
To access MAAPP:
Step 1: School District or Private School Signs/Updates Participation Agreement
For a counselor to access MAAPP, the counselor’s public school district or private school must have a signed Participation Agreement on file, and the district superintendent or private school headmaster must authorize the counselor.
- Participation Agreement: The Participation Agreement includes all the legalese needed to ensure the protection of your student’s data in accordance with federal law. The Participation Agreement must be signed electronically by the Superintendent or Headmaster and must be updated annually.
- Counselor Authorization: Every high school or district counselor must be authorized by the public school district or private school to access and share the student data covered in the Participation Agreement. The Superintendent/Headmaster or his/her proxy must authorize each counselor initially and reauthorize each counselor annually.
Step 2: Counselor Requests Account
Individual high school counselors, district counselors, school administrators, or teachers may request a MAAPP user account by clicking on the MAAPP logo above. Each new user account must be authorized by the district superintendent (or proxy) or private school headmaster (or proxy).
