Minnesota SF2528 imposes a residency and work requirement for North Star Promise scholarship recipients.

Minnesota SF2528 amends the North Star Promise scholarship program to require recipients to reside and be employed in Minnesota for three years after completing their degree or credential program. Failure to meet this requirement results in the conversion of the scholarship to a student loan. The commissioner may waive or defer the requirement under certain conditions, such as attending a postgraduate program or experiencing extreme hardship. The changes apply to scholarship awards beginning in the fall term of the 2026-2027 academic year.
