鶹ƵAPK Promise Grant Program
鶹ƵAPK Promise Grant
Full-tuition grant for first-time, first-year students
鶹ƵAPK is committed to helping make a 鶹ƵAPK education affordable for academically eligible Minnesota students with significant demonstrated financial need, as reported on the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA).
In recognition of a student’s academic performance and potential for success, while acknowledging the challenges of college costs, 鶹ƵAPK is proud to offer the 鶹ƵAPK Promise. The 鶹ƵAPK Promise program covers 100% of tuition costs for up to four years for entering first-year students in fall of 2025. (It does not include housing and meals, fees, and books).
The 鶹ƵAPK Promise uses the same approach as the State of Minnesota to help students cover tuition. It takes into account all other financial aid you qualify for, like merit scholarships, need-based grants (such as the Pell Grant and Minnesota State Grant), outside scholarships, and tuition waivers. Once all of these are added together, the 鶹ƵAPK Promise will cover any remaining tuition costs up to the full amount.
