A documented CTE program, funding mechanism, or pathway supports targeted development; the current buyer and budget still need qualification.

Mississippi · State-aid program · July 2026 manual
Mississippi’s official manual directory lists Part 691, the Dual Enrollment/Dual Credit scholarship, as unfunded. The July 2026 manual confirms this on printed page 313. Published eligibility rules do not establish a currently available award.
Ask your counselor: Which courses are available through my school, what requirements apply, and how will the credits count?
UNFUNDED in the July 2026 official manual. Do not count DEDC as available funding. A separately verified college, district or other allowable funding source would be needed; this finding does not mean all Mississippi dual enrollment is unfunded.
The scholarship funding record does not determine whether a college may deliver a dual-credit course online. Verify the selected college course and agreement separately.
The state program link is drawn from the existing Atlas. Salary resources open tools where you can choose your state or metro; a state selection here does not mean local wage records have been imported. Local apprenticeship schedules, licensing links and verified starting-pay records remain to be added.
