Financial aid is granted on the basis of financial need as determined by the Pell Grant Formula and the Congressional Methodology established by the U.S. Department of Education. All federal grants, loans, the Minnesota Grant Program, and the Minnesota College Work Study Program require submission of a Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) for need analysis.
