Mississippi Postsecondary Education Financial Assistance Board
About the Board
The Mississippi Postsecondary Education Financial Assistance Board (Postsecondary Board), established pursuant to Miss. Code Ann. § 37-106-9, was recently expanded from a three-member board to a nine-member board. The Postsecondary Board has authority over all of the state’s student financial aid programs, which include undergraduate and graduate grant and forgivable loan programs. Public, private, two-year and four-year college students may receive funds through our programs.
