Post-Secondary Child Care Grant

The Post-Secondary Child Care Grant is awarded to students who are pursuing their first undergraduate degree, a Minnesota resident, have children 12 and under, demonstrate financial need and have not attended a post-secondary institution more than the equivalent of four-years at full-time status. The amount of assistance (may cover up to 40 hours per week per eligible child) will depend on the family size, annual income of the family, the number of day-care hours necessary to cover education or work obligations, and the availability of funding. The Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) must be received at the federal processor by March 1 and no later then 30 days after the terms begins of each semester in order to be considered for Post-Secondary Child Care Grant.

The Priority deadline to complete and submit the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) for the University of Minnesota, Morris to the federal processor is March 1.

Students must be enrolled for 15 credits to receive a full Post-Secondary Child Care Grant. When students are enrolled for less than 15 credits the Post-Secondary Child Care Grant will be reduced based on the number of credits each term.
