Financing your education
Office of Student Finance
The Office of Student Finance (OSF) administers all financial aid
programs at the University. Financial aid counselors are available
to help you by email, phone, or in person.
Scholarships and financial aid
To be considered for all forms of need-based aid, new and returning
students must file the Free Application for Federal Student Aid
(FAFSA).
Merit-based scholarships
- Freshman scholarships
These scholarships may be campus-wide or college-specific. You
are considered for most University of Minnesota academic scholarships
when you apply for admission. By submitting your application for
admission you are also applying for a freshman scholarship; no
additional form is necessary. Priority consideration is given
to students who submit the admission application by priority application
deadline.
- Freshman honors scholarships
IT awards Freshman Undergraduate Assistant Scholarships of at
least $2,500. When you apply
for admission to
the University Honors Program, you are automatically
applying for this award.
- Department scholarships
All other IT undergraduates, including transfer students, should
contact their major department and the Office of Student Services
for information about scholarships (612-624-8504). Use the IT
Undergraduate Merit Scholarship Application (pdf) or the IT
Undergraduate Transfer
Student Merit Scholarship Application (pdf).
