Promise Plus Free Tuition Program

The Promise Plus Free Tuition Program (Promise Plus) is an expansion of the U Promise Scholarship Program to support Minnesota students in being able to afford college. It provides funds in addition to the federal, state, and University grants/scholarships needed to cover the full cost of tuition for students whose families make $50,000 per year or less.

Promise Plus Free Tuition is available to eligible new freshmen Minnesota residents enrolling full time at any University of Minnesota campus (Crookston, Duluth, Morris, Rochester and Twin Cities). Students who qualify for U Promise Scholarships are also then considered for Promise Plus as an additional support for tuition costs. To be considered, students must submit a Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA).

The Promise Plus Free Tuition Program provides financial support to cover the cost of tuition (amounts varies by campus), for four consecutive years.

There is not a separate Promise Plus application. Residents of Minnesota who are admitted to any of the University of Minnesota campuses and also apply for the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) will automatically be considered for the University of Minnesota Promise Plus Free Tuition.

To be considered:

1. Apply for admission to the University of Minnesota.

2. Apply for financial aid.
