To be eligible for the $500 Spring Tuition Grant, students must:
Be a new undergraduate, degree seeking student admitted for Spring 2027
Submit an application for admission by December 1, 2026
Complete the FAFSA or Alternative Application by December 15, 2026
Be enrolled and registered for the Spring 2027 semester
The grant may only be applied toward tuition and fees.
If tuition and fee charges are less than the grant amount, any remaining funds will not be refunded or disbursed directly to the student. For example: if an individual's combination of Pell, MN State Grant, SEOG, Alliss, and North Star Promise funds total more than owed tuition and fees, that student will not be eligible for this grant. Grant amount will only cover tuition and fees owed (up to $500) and not pay out overages.
