    Quote from Genesis Mendoza

    Genesis Mendoza female student

    "Being a first-generation college student means that my family depends on me being successful and having a good career. I definitely appreciate what I have and know what hard work can get me. Knowing that I have this financial help truly means a lot."

    Tuition and financial aid

    The University of Minnesota and the College of Education and Human Development offer many ways to pay for your degree. A good place to research costs and financial aid is at One Stop Student Services, where you can estimate your costs, and learn more about financial aid and scholarships at the U of M.

    Undergraduate student aid

    Current CEHD students are encouraged to apply for CEHD scholarships. CEHD awards scholarships ranging from $1,000-$20,000 for tuition, study abroad, and unpaid internships. 

    Graduate student aid

    Financing your graduate studies works a little differently from funding your undergraduate degree. The student loan rules are not the same, and there are other tools and options open for you at the graduate level.
