About DSU
Delta State is a public institution, receiving primary funding from the state; however, it also seeks and receives support from private and federal sources, as well as tuition revenue. The University provides a comprehensive undergraduate curriculum, offering 12 baccalaureate degrees in 42 majors. It also seeks to meet the need for advanced training in certain fields by providing programs of study for eight master's degrees, the Educational Specialist degree and the Doctor of Education degree.
Serving as the cultural and educational center of the region, Delta State University is located in Cleveland. The Mississippi Delta, a 20-county, northwestern region, rich in various ethnic and cultural groups, provides approximately 76 percent of the University's enrollment. Nearly 15 percent of the students attend from other parts of the state, while almost 10 percent of the students reside outside the state. Accordingly, the University identifies the Delta as its primary public service region, while acknowledging the importance of research and service that also benefits the state and nation.

Financial aid:
Each year students must complete the free application for financial aid (FAFSA). This application will ask questions about the income of the parents and student, the size of the family, and assets.
The federal government will take that data and provide information to the school so that the amount of grant, loan, and federal work study can be determined for that student. Students can list up to six schools on their application. These schools will receive your information electronically. You will receive a paper copy of the results in approximately 3 weeks.
Delta State will review the information and determine what additional documents are needed. Copies of tax returns, institutional forms, a copy of your social security card, a copy of your marriage license, or other documents may be required.
MTAG and MESG scholarship awards are made by the State Office of Student Financial Aid. You must apply on-line each year by September 15. It is recommended that you apply prior to June 1. |
