Minnesota Dream Act:
Undocumented students can apply for state financial aid by completing the MN Dream Act Application online.
The Minnesota Dream Act will provide certain benefits for students who meet the following criteria:
Attended a Minnesota high school for at least 3 years; and
Graduated from a Minnesota high school or earned a GED in Minnesota; and
Registered with the U.S. Selective Service (applies only to males 18 to 25 years old); and
Provide documentation to show they have applied for lawful immigration status but only if a federal process exists for a student to do so (does not include applying for Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals). There is currently no federal process in place, so this documentation is not currently required.
Students who meet the criteria for the Minnesota Dream Act will qualify for these benefits:
In-state resident tuition rates at public colleges and universities.
State financial aid available to students who meet state residency requirements.
Privately funded financial aid through public colleges and universities.
