Promise Programs

The Promise Programs are part of the University of Minnesota’s unparalleled commitment to the success of our students and make a U of M education possible for Minnesota resident students across the University's five system campuses. 

Under the programs, eligible Minnesota resident undergraduate students meeting the family income levels outlined below and who enroll at the U of M will be guaranteed funds to support their collegiate aspirations. 

  • No separate application necessary, except for the Native American Promise Tuition Program and American Indian Scholars Program.  
  • For the other programs, Just apply for admissions at any U of M system campus and submit the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA). Please see specific programs for any additional eligibility details.

After submitting your FAFSA, the University will review your eligibility for each program and offer whichever program best supports your collegiate aspirations.
