Scholarships and Financial Aid:

College tuition is a major expenditure for any family. As a public university, Alcorn State strives to keep costs low, but many of our students still need financial aid to attend. The Office of Financial Aid is eager to help you and your family obtain the assistance you need to bridge the gap between your financial resources and the full cost of tuition. Among your options are scholarships, grants, loans, and part-time employment.
