Applying for scholarships is a common way that students and families think of when discussing covering the cost of college. There are 3 different types of scholarships:Â
Merit-based: Awarded based on GPA, ACT/SAT Scores, Leadership & Work Experience
Financial Need: Eligible for Free/Reduced Lunch, Demonstrated need from FAFSA or MN Dream Act
Institutional/School Specific: Funds awarded directly from an individual college/university that can only be used at that institution
Most scholarships only cover a portion of a students overall cost of attendance. Completing the FAFSA or MN Dream Act is how a large number of students make it happen - and how students apply for MN & Federal Grants (free money!) Check out our Financial Aid page
