The Mississippi Association of Student Financial Aid Administrators, Inc. was founded to establish a financial aid community that encourages the exchange of ideas and professional expertise to effectively and ethically promote access to higher education by meeting the diverse needs of our constituents (students, parents, and institutions).

To achieve our mission, MASFAA provides training opportunities for financial aid professionals, provides an atmosphere to develop networking and professional relationships, serves as liaison between federal and state authorities and the financial aid community regarding student financial assistance and educational access, and enhances public awareness of student financial aid assistance.


The Mississippi Association of Student Financial Aid Administrators, Inc. is a vibrant organization serving students, parents, and institutions. Through the coordination of plans and programs pertinent to student financial aid, MASFAA serves the interests and needs of students, postsecondary educational institutions and their aid administrators, and public and private agencies and organizations concerned with student financial aid.

By the administration of these plans and programs, MASFAA has an absolutely amazing impact on the lives of people who desire to achieve a higher education but believe it is impossible due to financial constraints.
