"An investment in knowledge pays the best interest." -Benjamin Franklin
Every student has a variety of resources available to help with paying for school. We provide background information, links, and suggestions to help you build the PLAN that works best for YOU.
Steps to Building a Successful Plan:
1. Determine what it will cost you to attend MSU:

TIP: Look at the indirect costs and adjust them to fit your needs based on your expected travel, whether-or-not you will have a car, live off campus, etc.
2. Look at your existing funds:
3. When you total up your available resources, are you in a good place, or do you need to look for additional support?
TIP: Make sure you consider that college is a multi year commitment. Will your available funds hold out for four or more years? Start now to make a plan for organizing your funds to cover your whole experience, not just this year.
