Scholarships and Discounts
Scholarships
Scholarships are available for all Grad School Test Prep courses through the College of Continuing Education. They are funded by a wide range of donors, and are meant to assist learners who could not participate in the College's programs without some help.
To be eligible for a scholarship, you must be a Minnesota resident who has had a two-year or longer break in your education, including part-time attendance. The years need not be consecutive nor need they immediately precede your application. You also must demonstrate financial need in accordance with the College's guidelines, which are especially geared to adults.
To apply, complete the two-page application form, prepare your personal statement of no more than 500 words, and submit your college transcript.
For full information and to download the application form for noncredit courses, visit Financial Aid Resources. If you have questions, call 612-624-4000 or e-mail.
