SF 721 Minnesota Senate · 2025-2026 Regular Session

Certain provisions modification for resident tuition and state student aid

SF 721 modifies Minnesota's resident tuition eligibility rules for certain non-immigrant students without legal U.S. work authorization. It adds specific documentation requirements: students must have attended Minnesota high school for three+ years, graduated or earned an equivalent, and provide proof of selective service registration (if applicable) plus federal immigration application documentation (if a process exists). This directly affects non-immigrant students seeking resident tuition rates at Minnesota state universities and colleges. The bill amends Minnesota Statutes sections 135A.043 (residency for tuition) and 136A.101 (definition of "resident student") to include these new conditions.
