McNEESE STATE UNIVERSITY
No matter what type of aid you’re applying for or what type of student you are, you’ll need to fill out and submit the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) once it becomes available Dec. 1, and submit it to McNeese. McNeese will use the information from your FAFSA to determine not just student loan eligibility and funding, but whether you qualify for scholarships, grants and work-study programs.
Financial aid is initially awarded based on full-time enrollment for the fall and spring semesters (and half-time for the summer semesters), and will be adjusted to your actual enrollment once enrollment is final for that term. Awards will be disbursed to student accounts automatically.
To receive financial aid, you must fill out a FAFSA every year.
I am a McNeese graduate with a bachelor's degree in Family and Consumer Science and a concentration in Child and Family Studies. As a student, I competed on the rodeo team and served on the SGA board. I earned my master’s degree in 2022 from the University of South Dakota in Educational Administration and Leadership with a concentration in Adult and Higher Ed. I have over 13 years of experience in adult education and 20 years of educational experience.
My favorite part of being a Freshman Advisor is helping students navigate their new life routine as a college freshman by offering support with in-person office visits or by email to help students meet their goals. I always remind students of my favorite BB King quote – “Education is one thing no one can ever take away from you.” I believe that supporting students is vital to a student's success.
In my spare time, I raise registered American Brahman cattle, and I enjoy all the "country girl" things like hunting, fishing, growing a garden and cooking.
