At UMN Morris we believe that cost should never get in the way of a great education. We are committed to making college affordable and accessible to everyone, no matter who you are or where you’re from. That’s why we urge you to take advantage of the many opportunities for financial aid, including scholarships, grants, loans, and student employment.
Financial Aid Questions?
We know that navigating financial aid can feel overwhelming. That’s why we’ve made it simple and transparent. Our One Stop Student Services team will walk you through the financial aid process to ensure that you get the financial aid you need, taking into consideration all financial aid options.
Financial Aid
We can help you finance your education in a way that works for you and your family. It all starts with the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA)—the only application needed for federal, state, and UMN Morris financial aid.
- Complete the FAFSA online. Include our federal school code (002389) so that your results are sent to UMN Morris.
- Sign electronically with your FSA ID. If you are a dependent student, you and one parent/guardian must sign the FAFSA.
- Click the “Submit” button.
- Print/Save the confirmation page for your records.
Scholarships
Scholarships are a type of financial aid that does not have to be repaid. They are awarded based on specific criteria, such as major, grade point average, or financial need.
Grants & Waivers
Grants and waivers are a type of financial aid that does not have to be repaid. They are often based on financial need as determined by the FAFSA.
American Indian Tuition Waiver
As mandated in federal law and state statute, the American Indian tuition waiver allows UMN Morris to admit American Indian students who qualify for admission on the same basis as other students free of charge for tuition.
Loan Overview
