Because we are an Extension unit, support and services that further the Extension mission are provided mostly without charge. Work performed for fee-based or grant-funded projects is conducted at standard rates charged to the client’s account or grant. Work supporting the missions of MAFES, FWRC, CALS, CFR, and CVM are charged at the same standard rates. Please note that, while we work hard to meet every deadline, grant funding does not prioritize your project over others that are already in production.

Contact Vanessa Whitledge (vanessa.whitledge@msstate.edu) for assistance submitting online requests, for completing financial transactions, or for cost estimates when preparing grant proposals.
