Award Overview Tab in myGate
Need calculations are used to determine a student's eligibility for need-based aid (i.e. SEOG Grant, Federal Work-study, Perkins Loan, Subsidized Loans). Need calculations can change as additional awards are made to the student. For instance, if a student receives an external scholarship a month from now, the scholarship will be added to the student award package and be used in the need calculation.
Cost of Attendance (COA) is only an estimate of costs that MSU is using to determine each student's budget or maximum amount of cost. This is NOT your bill.
Students are billed a semester at a time after the student has registered for the upcoming semester's classes, selected a meal plan, been assigned on-campus housing, etc.

STUDENT LOANS
Loan Logistics
- Students loans do not have to be accepted.
- Students can accept a partial amount of the student loans offered to them. Only accept what is needed.
- Student loan interest rates may vary each year, which could change whether a Subsidized Loan is a better loan than the Perkins Loan.
WORKING ON CAMPUS
Awarded Federal Work-Study? How to find a job?
All student employment jobs are classified as either Federal Work-Study or University Student Employment. Even though Federal Work-Study is listed in the financial aid package, the money does not pay directly to the student bill. Students are paid bi-weekly for working a Federal Work-Study or University student employment job.
