Student Financial Services at The University of Mississippi Medical Center is divided into the following three offices:

• The Office of Student Financial Aid,
• The Office of Student Loans, and
• The Office of Student Accounting
Although all of these offices are located in The Learning Resource Center in Suite U017, each office is responsible for different aspects of the awarding, the monitoring, and the distributing of your financial aid.  This separation of duties is required by the federal government.  Therefore when you ask a question to one office, you may be referred to one of the other two offices for your answer although the offices are in the same area.

OFFICE OF STUDENT FINANCIAL AID

The UMC Office of Student Financial Aid is responsible for determining each student’s eligibility and then awarding the appropriate federal student financial aid such as Stafford loans, the Federal Pell Grant, or the Federal Perkins Loan and some institutional loans such as the George C. and Laura B. McKinstry Loan.  State financial aid is awarded by the Mississippi Office of Student Financial Aid which will notify this office of a student’s awards.  All institutional scholarships and some institutional loans are awarded by the appropriate school or department who then will notify The Office of Student Financial Aid of the student’s awards.  The office also receives all outside funds such as foundation scholarships and military scholarships.  You may come into the office in The Learning Resource Center Suite U017 to see an advisor from 8:00AM until 4:30PM Monday through Friday excluding UMC holidays.  You may reach an advisor at (601) 984-1117 or at

OFFICE OF STUDENT LOANS
