And imagine earning a prestigious degree from one of the nation's top public universities, all for a great value. You'll find all of this at the University of Minnesota Twin Cities. Using the University's Net Price Calculator , you can get a sense of the types of need-based aid for which you may be eligible. This calculator is intended to assist you in your college planning. Net Price Calculator Keep in mind: Calculations reflect tuition and fees for the 2025-2026 academic year. The University also awards a number of merit-based scholarships, which are not factored into the Net Price Calculator for most students (users from outside of MN and reciprocity states will see an estimated scholarship amount on their calculation). Merit-based scholarships are awarded based on an overall assessment of a complete freshman admission application. Please visit our scholarships page for more information on these merit-based awards.
