Maximum income eligibility condition for the North Star Promise scholarship program increased, and required transfer of money increased.

HF 3627 increases the maximum family income limit for Minnesota's North Star Promise scholarship program from $80,000 to $100,000 annually, expanding eligibility to more students from middle-income households. The bill also increases funding transfers for the program, requiring $49.5 million annually from the general fund (starting fiscal year 2026) to support scholarships. This change affects students attending eligible Minnesota colleges who meet other standard requirements like FAFSA submission and academic progress. The adjustments take effect for the fall 2026 academic term.
