Qualifying for Financial Aid

Introduction

Qualifying for Financial Aid

Question

How do I know if I qualify for financial aid? 

Answer

Financial aid may be either need-based or not based on need.  

If you are a U.S. citizen or eligible non-citizen, you will complete the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) in order for our office to determine your eligibility for the types and amount of financial aid.

Undocumented students do not file the FAFSA and may be eligible to file the Minnesota Dream Act.
