In-state residency and work requirement for recipients of North Star Promise scholarships imposed, and scholarships limited to students enrolled in programs of study that lead to employment in high-demand industries and occupations.

Summary

The proposal would require North Star Promise scholarship recipients to live and work in Minnesota for five years after graduation, or have the award turned into a loan. It also restricts eligibility to students studying programs that lead to jobs in industries the state deems in demand. The changes aim to keep scholarship dollars tied to Minnesota’s workforce needs.
