Starting in 2024, undocumented immigrants in Minnesota will be among those eligible for tuition-free public college for state residents from families making less than $80,000 annually.
Meyer told Scripps News that undocumented immigrants would need to fill out a Minnesota Dream Act application since they aren't eligible for FAFSA. Other potential students are required to fill out a FAFSA form.

Those who already hold a bachelor's degree are not eligible for the scholarships. No funding will be provided to those making more than $80,000 annually. Those attending private schools will also not be eligible.
