| Abstract: | Established in 1969, the Minnesota State Grant program is a need-based financial aid program created to assist Minnesota resident undergraduates attending public and private postsecondary institutions in the state. The State Grant program is designed to provide choice and access to undergraduate students to attend the postsecondary institution that best meets their needs. The State Grant program provides financial aid to students in conjunction with the federal Pell Grant. In fiscal year 2025, approximately 75,742 students were awarded grants, totaling nearly $222 million. This report contains data on the number of awards and award amounts of Minnesota State Grants received by Minnesota resident undergraduate students for fiscal year 2025 (July 1, 2024 to June 30, 2025). Since a student's State Grant award considers a federal Pell Grant award the student receives, this report includes tables and graphs of combined federal Pell and Minnesota State Grant awards received by Minnesota State Grant recipients. The report also includes data on student characteristics that impact the calculation of State Grant awards such as family adjusted gross income, dependency status/family circumstances, institution choice, and registration credit load. State Grant award recipient demographics such as race, ethnicity and sex are also reported. All tables and charts in this report show the family adjusted gross income of Minnesota State Grant recipients as reported on the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA). For dependent students, the parents' adjusted gross income is used, whereas for independent students, the student's (and, if married, spouse's) adjusted gross income is used. Information reported in this report is based on State Grant data available as of October 20, 2025; totals may differ from other documents published by the Minnesota Office of Higher Education before or after this date. |
