Application

Undocumented students can apply for state financial aid by completing the MN Dream Act Application online. If you are a US Citizen or eligible non-citizen, you are eligible to complete the Free Application For Federal Student Aid (FAFSA), which is used for both Federal and State financial aid.  Please complete your FAFSA by going to the following website: www.studentaid.gov.

To be eligible for the MN State Grant for the 2024-2025 academic year, the application must be submitted no later than November 30th, 2024.  We regret that we are not able to fund all eligible students for the entire aid year.  Additionally, the Office of Higher Education is not able to fund Minnesota State Grants for any students for the summer, 2025 term.  If you are interested in attending summer 2025, please contact your school’s financial aid office to find out if you are eligible for State Grant under the 2025-2026 aid application. For the 2025-2026 academic year, the deadline is June 30th, 2026.

Students looking to access other MN Office of Higher Education financial aid programs for the 2024-2025 year will still need to complete the MN Dream Act application. For example, a student applying for the Student Teacher Grant program or accessing the North Star Promise program, will need to complete the 2024-2025-2025 MN Dream Act Application.

The results of the application can also be used to qualify for in-state tuition rates at the University of Minnesota Twin Cities and Duluth campuses. Students attending Minnesota State campuses should also use this application to apply for state financial aid, but should apply for in-state tuition rates directly with the Minnesota State campus.

IMPORTANT: Students submit the MN Dream Act application once per school year.
