Missouri S&T is committed to using the Principles & Standards of the College Cost Transparency Initiative in its student financial aid offer.

The Student Financial Assistance Office sends out financial aid offer letters to all students for the upcoming school year early March. Those students that did not complete a FAFSA by the priority deadline will be processed in turn.

If any student wishes to accept or decline this assistance, it is necessary that they log onto our online student self service system, Joe'SS.

Parent and Graduate PLUS loans are not offered as apart of the student's financial aid offer. To apply for a PLUS loan, the parent or graduate student needs to complete an application and credit check through studentaid.gov. Once our office receives an approved application, we will accept the loan for the amount requested. 

The amount of financial aid that has been offered to a student may be revised if they are awarded additional financial assistance (scholarships, fellowships etc.) at a later date. The student will be notified if such revisions are made.  

To receive and/or maintain your aid, the student will need to meet satisfactory academic progress requirements and complete any documents required by the Student Financial Assistance Office.

Financial aid accepted by students will apply towards tuition and fees, food and housing, and books and supplies that are included on the student's billing statement. If the total of the aid applied exceeds the amount of charges owed to the University, the Cashier's office will process a refund to the student via direct deposit to their bank account or issue a check to the student's local address within 7-10 business days each semester. Should a Parent PLUS loan result in an overpayment, the refund will be sent directly to either the parent (as the borrower) or the student, depending on what option the parent requests on their PLUS loan application. If all requirements, including full-time registration, promissory notes and counseling, are fulfilled by the student the funds will be disbursed to the students account as early as 7-10 days prior to the first day of class.
