may 31 2023 Minnesota students who are undocumented immigrants will be eligible for the state's new tuition-free college program, government officials confirmed to Axios.
The big picture: Democrats used their majority in the Legislature to add a number of state benefits for noncitizens living here.
Other new laws allow people to obtain driver's licenses and access MinnesotaCare, the publicly run insurance program for low-income residents, regardless of their immigration status.
The free college initiative, dubbed "North Star Promise," will cover tuition at two- or four-year schools in the University of Minnesota or Minnesota State systems for students whose families make $80,000 or less annually.
In order to qualify, applicants must meet other requirements, such as graduating from a Minnesota high school or living here for 12 months without being enrolled in college more than half-time.
Students will also need to submit a FAFSA form and remain in good academic standing.
