How to Submit Documents
After completing the online application for state aid, applicants may be asked to submit supporting documents to the Mississippi Office of Student Financial Aid to complete an application.
Please ensure legibility of all documents being mailed, faxed, or uploaded.
Guidelines
- Only submit documents that have a status of Still Needed. Do not submit documents if they have not been requested on your dashboard.
- Do not mail original documents. Keep the original and mail us a copy, since documents cannot be returned to the applicant.
- Federal tax returns (Form 1040) will not be accepted. State tax returns should be signed when self-prepared. Please only submit the pages titled “Mississippi Resident Individual Tax Return”; do not include worksheet and schedule documents.
- Write the applicant’s full name and ONLY the last four digits of the applicant’s Social Security Number on every document (Example: Mary Jane Smith, -1234). Do NOT write the full Social Security Number.
- The document deadline is the date by which the document must be RECEIVED, not the postmark date.
- After submitting documents, allow up to two weeks for processing before resending the document.
- Check the applicant’s online account at msfinancialaid.org to determine if documents have been received.
***Do NOT call or email the Office to verify that documents have been received.
Check the student account, which is updated daily.***
Supporting documents can be submitted in several different ways. Please choose ONLY ONE:
- Upload using the student’s MAAPP Dashboard
- Scan and email to: sfa@mississippi.edu
- Fax to: 601-432-6527
- Mail to:
Mississippi Office of Student Financial Aid
