Are MPACT beneficiaries exempt from paying out-of-state tuition rates at Mississippi’s public colleges and universities?
A beneficiary is considered a resident for purposes of tuition regardless of the beneficiary’s residence at college enrollment. However, effective with MPACT contracts opened during the 2003 enrollment period or later, this provision only applies to nonresident beneficiaries if (a) the original purchaser was the parent, grandparent or legal guardian of the beneficiary, or (b) the beneficiary was a resident of Mississippi at the time the MPACT contract was purchased.
