Get Started with the Graduate Minnesota Scholarship

Ready to get started? Follow these steps to get yourself on track to complete your degree!

  1. Apply for admission to MCTC.
    1. If you are returning to MCTC, you will apply for readmission by completing a form and submitting it to the Admissions Office
    2. If you are transferring from another college or university, you will apply for admission. You must also pay the $20 application fee and complete the transfer student orientation process.
  2. Complete the Graduate Minnesota Application and Graduation Plan. You may need to request unofficial transcripts to help with your Graduation Plan. Completed applications/ graduation plans may be submitted by mail or email to:
    Victoria Lauing
    Minneapolis Community & Technical College
    1501 Hennepin Ave
    Minneapolis, MN  55403
    Victoria.Lauing@minneapolis.edu
  3. If you attended another college/university since you last attended MCTC, have an official transcript sent to the Office of the Registrar so that it can be evaluated. If the college/university you attended was a MnSCU school you do not need to have an official copy sent to MCTC – we are able to access your MnSCU transcript electronically. MCTC will evaluate your transcript after an official copy has been received and you have registered for classes at MCTC.
  4. If you plan to enroll in a career or technical program, you’ll have to be accepted to the program as well as the college. Some career or technical programs require certain scores on the placement tests or have limited enrollment. Learn more.
  5. Determine if you’ll need to take the placement tests for admission to your chosen program. Readmitted or transfer students may be exempt from the placement tests. Learn more.
  6. Explore or apply for financial support, including federal/state financial aid, scholarships offered by MCTC or other sources, and employer reimbursement programs. Learn more.
