Important Spring 2025 Financial Aid Information

The Minnesota Legislature has announced that state grant funding for college students is near the maximum amount allowed by law. 

Minnesota residents who have NOT filed their 2024-2025 FAFSA on or before November 30, 2024 will NOT be considered for the Minnesota State Grant, even if they qualify.   

If you have NOT filed your 2024-2025 FAFSA or MN Dream Act Application, you must complete and submit the application on or before November 30, 2024. 

Visit www.studentaid.gov to get started. Make sure you choose the 2024-2025 FAFSA, as shown on the icon below. 

  

To complete the Minnesota Dream Act application, please visit MN Dream Act- OHE and click the blue “MN Dream Act- State Financial Aid Application” button. Make sure you choose the 2024-2025 Application. This also must be submitted on or before November 30, 2024.
