Are there special grants for adult learners?
You’ll want to know about the Alliss Grant. This grant provides payment of tuition for one course–up to five semester credits–and also covers the cost of required textbooks for that course. To qualify, the selected course must be part of an Associate of Arts (A.A.) or Associate of Science (A.S.) degree program. Grant recipients must be out of school for at least seven years. They may be first-time community college enrollees who graduated from high school at least seven years ago, or former college students who haven’t been in college for seven years. Recipients must not hold baccalaureate or higher degrees. They must be legal Minnesota residents; those with reciprocity status are not eligible. Students already receiving financial aid or subsidized credit are excluded from the program.
