College tuition available for workers who provide direct care and meet income requirements

The Minnesota Future Together Grants offer tuition-free pathways for students in high-need career areas. Many direct support professionals who have not yet earned a bachelor's degree are likely to qualify for these grants. We ask employers to share this opportunity with their employees who might be interested in pursuing a college degree at a Minnesota public higher education institution or tribal college. For details see:

Questions

If you have questions, contact the campus financial aid office at the Minnesota public college or university or Minnesota tribal college the student would like to attend. Or email FutureTogetherGrant.OHE@state.mn.us.
