This following list is intended to be a list of financial-aid related resources for Latine students.
This is not a comprehensive list. It is meant to be a starting point for Minneapolis College Latine students looking for additional financial aid resources.
Unless otherwise specified, the resources on this list are not affiliated with Minneapolis College.
Please direct any questions you have about the specifics of these resources to the host organization itself.
This list includes a variety of identity-specific scholarships and resources. It centers a variety of Latine identities, including DACA-mented students, undocumented students, international students, students of color, and more. Again, please direct any questions you have about the specifics of these resources to the host organization itself.
Eligible non-citizens can apply to the Mn Dream Act every year for financial aid while pursuing a higher education. See application and eligibility details here. For assistance in completing this application, please make an appointment with LUCHA Coordinator, Sagrario Torres Flores.
