Meet Us at the Fair
JACKSON, Miss. – Good Monday morning — and welcome to the opening week of the Mississippi State Fair! My team and I will be heading down on Thursday, so be sure to stop by one of our booths and say “hello.” Meeting us isn’t incentive enough? Well, our College Savings team will be doling out a $529 scholarship while our Unclaimed Property team tries to find money for you to claim!

We are looking for the rightful owner to millions of dollars in unclaimed property. Some of it may be yours! Stop by our booth in Trade Hall C in the new Mississippi Trademart, and our team will have the laptops fired up to help you begin the search! Click here to start your search now!
Win a Scholarship
Is paying (or helping pay) for a college degree in your future? Stop by our College Savings Mississippi booth in Trade Hall C in the new Mississippi Trademart to get a kickstart to those plans. Those who sign up for more information will be eligible to win a $529 scholarship!
That’s not enough to stop by? We’ll have coloring sheets and crayons for the kids, glow sticks and bubbles – oh, and hand sanitizer!
