Founders Free Tuition Program

The University of Minnesota Founders Free Tuition Program supports admitted eligible Minnesota residents and provides them with access to a great University of Minnesota education.  This program combines federal, state, and institutional grants to cover 100 percent of tuition and required student service fees.  Students must be a Pell Grant recipient and a Minnesota resident. Students are required to complete the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA), be enrolled full-time (at least 12 credits) in a degree program, be working on their first undergraduate degree, and maintain satisfactory academic progress.

This scholarship is renewable.  First-year students are eligible for up to eight semesters and transfer students are eligible for up to four semesters.
