HF 3623 Minnesota House · 2025-2026 Regular Session

Income eligibility requirements for the North Star Promise scholarship program modified, and funding amounts for North Star Promise scholarships modified.

HF 3623 modifies Minnesota's North Star Promise scholarship program by raising the income eligibility threshold to $80,000 for students attending non-state-college public institutions (like universities), while exempting students at state colleges and Tribal colleges from this income limit. The bill also adjusts funding amounts for the program, with specific transfers of $2.5 million annually for spinal cord injury programs and $3.132 million for dual training programs. These changes apply to students enrolled in fall 2026 and beyond. The bill directly affects low-to-moderate-income students seeking tuition support at Minnesota's public higher education institutions.
