ST. PAUL, Minn., September 25, 2017 – In support of a statewide initiative to encourage students to explore their higher education options, the colleges and universities of Minnesota State are supporting College Knowledge Month by waiving application fees for all or part of October.

“Minnesota’s state colleges and universities are the most affordable and accessible higher education option in the state,” said Interim Chancellor Devinder Malhotra. “There has never been a better time for students to explore the many school and program choices offered by Minnesota State campuses. I encourage all high school seniors, and anyone else considering how education can shape their future, to contact our colleges and universities to learn more about preparing for and embarking on their transformational path.”

All Minnesota State colleges and universities are waiving application fees from October 23 – 27. Some – denoted in the list below with an asterisk – have chosen to waive fees for the entire month. In addition, there are colleges and universities that never charge a fee (denoted in the list below with two asterisks). Application fees for qualified low-income students and active duty military service members deployed overseas are always waived at all Minnesota State colleges and universities.

If prompted for a promo code, applicants should use “CKM2017.”
