Apply for Financial Aid

Applying for financial aid at William Carey University is simple and pain‑free.
Follow the steps below to get started.



1

Complete your FAFSA.


Students wishing to receive federal financial aid MUST complete a Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) annually. The FAFSA can be completed beginning October 1st of the previous academic year. The deadline for completing the FAFSA is June 30th of the applied academic year.

Whether you are a student, parent, or borrower, you will need to create your own FSA Account to apply for, receive, and manage your federal student aid.

Be sure William Carey University’s school code is listed on the FAFSA. (William Carey University's school code is 002447).

2

Complete your Mississippi Aid Application. (MAAPP)


Mississippi residents may qualify for state aid. Complete your Mississippi Aid Application (MAAPP) to be considered for state-funded grants and scholarship programs. Submitting the MAAPP helps ensure you don’t miss out on aid you may qualify for based on residency and eligibility requirements.
