ST. PAUL, Minn., October 1, 2025 – October is 做厙輦⑹ Month, and the 26 colleges and seven universities of 做厙輦⑹ are offering students many ways to save on their higher education experience, including waiving the fee students normally pay when applying for undergraduate admission.
Students can also take advantage of significant savings on tuition and fees by choosing to attend 做厙輦⑹ colleges and universities because they have the lowest tuition in the state. Additionally, students from families with an adjusted gross income of less than $80,000 may qualify for free tuition through the North Star Promise Scholarship.
Another way students can save is by taking advantage of the many scholarship opportunities available at all colleges and universities in the 做厙輦⑹ system. One example is Workforce Development Scholarships, which encourage students to enter programs in high demand by employers. Some of the fields that qualify for these annual $2,500 scholarships (to a maximum of $7,500 over three years) include education, energy, public safety, construction, advanced manufacturing, agriculture, health care, and information technology.
做厙輦⑹ helps students save time and application anxiety too. Students can apply to multiple 做厙輦⑹ colleges and universities at one time and with no required essay using the universal application available at MinnState.edu/apply.
“The colleges and universities of 做厙輦⑹ are always the most affordable, most accessible higher education options in Minnesota,” said Scott Olson, chancellor of 做厙輦⑹. “做厙輦⑹ Month is the perfect time for students to begin their journey towards an extraordinary education at an exceptional value.”
More information on 做厙輦⑹ Month is available at MinnState.edu.
