Dependent Student
A student who is required to provide parental information on the financial aid application because the student does not meet the criteria for an independent student in the Higher Education Act of 1965, as amended.
The Mississippi Office of Student Financial Aid has returned to normal operations and full functionality following a network security incident. We are working to process all applications for student financial aid that have been submitted to us as well as any outstanding payments. We have also re-established secure services with each of our individual higher education institutions. We regret the inconvenience caused by the network security incident.
