North Star Promise Scholarship Program (Fall 2024)

Beginning in Fall 2024, the North Star Promise (NSP) Scholarship program will create a tuition and fee-free pathway to higher education for eligible Minnesota Residents at eligible institutions. The NSP scholarship is considered a “last-dollar” program by covering the balance of tuition and fees remaining after other scholarships, grants, stipends, and tuition waivers have been applied.

    "Business is one of the best programs Anoka-Ramsey Community College has to offer, and it is also possible to receive your bachelor's degree on campus through its partnership with universities in the area.

    TRIO SSS jump started my academic career and ensured I got the most out of my time at Anoka-Ramsey. As a first-generation, non-traditional student, I was unsure of the logistics to obtaining a degree and frightened of the uncertainty. My TRIO SSS Advisor helped answer all of my questions, ensured I was taking the correct courses for my degree, made me aware of opportunities available on- and off-campus and aided in building my confidence. I will forever be grateful to the dedication my TRIO SSS Advisor has given me and the growth I have gained in the process."

    "Anyone of any age wanting to go to college to pursue a degree or general education can come to Anoka-Ramsey and expect a great education and a great time.

    When you apply for a scholarship, you will likely get one. I received two scholarships my freshman year: The Otto Bremer Scholarship for $1,500 and the Presidential Scholarship for $3,000."
