MAAPP for Colleges

MAAPP is the Mississippi Aid Application, but it’s more than just an application. 

MAAPP is also an information portal for applicants, high school counselors, and college financial aid administrators.

In MAAPP, college staff can: 

• Submit student grade and enrollment verification
• Submit award package information for FAITH recipients
• Verify student dependency status
• View individual student accounts
• Generate reports to support state aid eligibility and aid the college in packaging state aid

• The Participation Agreement includes all the legalese needed to ensure the protection of student data in accordance with federal law.
• The Participation Agreement must be signed electronically by the college’s Financial Aid Director. 
• The Participation Agreement must be updated annually.
• IF the school has a new Financial Aid Director, please email Brandon Johnson at bjohnson@mississippi.edu to request access. 

Step 2: Request User Accounts
