Free Application Opportunities at Minnesota Colleges and Universities
As MN high school students think about applying to college, application fees should not be a barrier. Some Minnesota colleges do not charge application fees or they don’t charge fees at a certain time. For students from lower-income families, all colleges offer a fee waiver.
For students from low-income families:
Every day of the year, students form families with modest income scan apply at no charge using a NACAC fee waiver at the University of Minnesota, Minnesota State Colleges and Universities and the nonprofit colleges that are members of the Minnesota Private College Council. High school counselors and college admission staff can help a student make these arrangements. Eligibility information and the fee waiver form is available at: http://www.nacacnet.org/studentinfo/feewaiver
