Statewide Financial Aid Conference

The Minnesota Office of Higher Education has decided to no longer hold the Statewide Financial Aid Conference given that we and other organizations provide similar training and services throughout the year.

In the absence of the 2017 Statewide Financial Aid Conference, we want to be sure everyone knows about the available trainings, materials, and services provided by the Minnesota Office of Higher Education and others (see below).

College Planning Presentation Information

The Office of Higher Education offers free presentations throughout the state of Minnesota to educate students, families, teachers and the community about the many ways to prepare and pay for college. Presentations are designed for students in grades four through 12 or parents who have children of any age.

These presentations help connect educators, parents, students and organizations with helpful postsecondary resources. Free publications on career awareness and how to prepare and pay for college as well as other college preparation and planning information are provided at these presentations.
