• Create your Federal Student Aid ID.
• Fill out the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA).
  • Delta’s FAFSA code is 002251.
  • You will receive an email to your Delta email from financial aid with further details.

  

Step 3: Create an account on MiSSG

Create an MiSSG Student Portal in 3-5 business days after filing the FAFSA, and watch for updates.
