The North Star Promise (NSP) Scholarship creates a tuition and fee-free pathway to higher education for eligible
Minnesota residents
at eligible institutions as a “last-dollar” program by covering the balance of tuition and fees remaining after other scholarships, grants, stipends, and tuition waivers have been applied. This new program was designed to make college accessible and affordable. NSP is intended to have a positive impact on multiple fronts:
Help stabilize enrollment at Minnesota public institutions of higher education;
Serve as an economic driver for Minnesota by educating qualified workers who are much needed to fill vacancies in the state’s labor force;
Create a viable higher education path for Minnesota residents who may have previously thought education was not a possibility for them.
How to Apply
Complete the
Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA)
or the
Minnesota Dream Act
application. That’s it! The Financial Aid Office will review all student FAFSAs and Dream Act applications and will notify students if they are eligible.
Who is eligible?
Eligible students must:
Be a
Minnesota resident
Have a family Adjusted Gross Income (AGI) below $80,000 as reported on the
Free Application for Federal Student Aid
(FAFSA) or
Minnesota Dream Act
Attend a Minnesota public higher education institution or Tribal College
Not be in default on a state or federal student loan
Be enrolled taking at least one credit
Meet Satisfactory Academic Progress (SAP) standards
Have not already earned a baccalaureate degree
Be enrolled in a program or course of study that applies to a degree, diploma, or certificate
Key Information About the North Star Promise (NSP) Scholarship
NSP only covers tuition/fees – not books, dorms, or any other charges
Is a “last dollar” form of funding, meaning it pays whatever is left of your tuition/fees AFTER all other scholarships, grants, stipends, and tuition waivers have been applied
Does NOT produce any leftover funds. It only pays off unpaid tuition/fees after all other scholarships, grants, stipends, and tuition waivers have been applied
Eligibility is determined every semester. You will need to fill out the FAFSA each year. A student who receives a grant one semester is not guaranteed to receive funding for the next semester. Eligibility is subject to the availability of funds and any changes in your enrollment, FAFSA, or other financial aid may change the amount you receive each semester.
Length of eligibility: Students earning 2-year degrees can receive the award for a total of 60 credits. Students earning 4-year degrees can receive the award for a total of 120 credits.

Testimonials
I chose FDLTCC because of its size and the curriculum. When I first came here in 2019, I was just looking for what I needed to volunteer, perhaps in a crisis shelter. I met with Don Jarvinen, and the rest is history.
It is awesome here at the FDLTCC Education Program because it is like a family here, if you need help or are struggling with anything, you have quite a few people who will help you out.
My favorite thing about FDLTCC is the people. I’ve met fantastic students, faculty and staff who go above and beyond what I expected.
