MTAG Works: Providing Educational Opportunities for More Skilled Mississippians
The Mississippi Tuition Assistance Grant (MTAG) was created in 1995 to help middle-class families afford to pay for college, but the program hasn’t changed to meet the needs of today’s families or today’s workforce. A State Aid Redesign Taskforce of education and workforce leaders was convened in 2022 to think about how MTAG might be updated to help more Mississippians access the education or skills they need to fully contribute to today’s workforce. The result of that taskforce is a proposal to revise MTAG as “MTAG Works”.
