Let us help you build a plan for paying for college and managing your money!  

MN

MIDWEST TUITION RATE

Students coming from neighboring Midwest states (excluding MN) will be charged the Midwest Tuition Rate. The Midwest Tuition Rate is a 50% discount below the non-resident rate. This is a discounted tuition rate, with no GPA or other renewal requirements.

NONRESIDENT SCHOLARSHIPS

Students from states* outside of the Midwest are charged the nonresident tuition rate. The amounts listed represent full-time enrollment. Students attending less than full-time are still eligible for the scholarship program, but will receive a prorated amount. Students in programs or courses with special tuition rates do not qualify.

*Students from surrounding Midwest states qualify for a reduced tuition rate via the Midwest Tuition Rate.

International Students  |  There are a limited number of renewable awards for full time, degree-seeking international students that cover a portion of the out-of-state tuition charge. Funding is limited, so we strongly recommend that international students apply early for admission.

MINNESOTA RECIPROCITY

Wisconsin and Minnesota have a tuition reciprocity agreement which allows students from Minnesota to pay the same tuition rate as the in-state rate at a Minnesota State University. This is not automatically applied, and does require action from students admitted from Minnesota through the Minnesota Office of Higher Education.
