When you have completed your Letter of Inquiry and click the "Submit My Inquiry" button you will receive a screen message (not an email) thanking you for submitting a Letter of Inquiry and for your interest in working with the Blue Cross & Blue Shield of Mississippi Foundation.

There is no deadline. The Foundation accepts Letters of Inquiry throughout the year.
