University of Minnesota, Morris admissions value piece 2010-11.TRANSCRIPT
A remarkable, bankable education.
“You really can go anywhere with a Morris liberal arts education. I have advanced in my career because of how I learned to think at Morris. The ‘Morris’ name opens doors, too. People know it as the place for students who are serious about learning.”
Jeff Ulrich ’95 physics and computer science
A Morris liberal arts experience is something you can build on for life.
Whether you go on to a graduate program, professional school, or
the job market, you’ll be seen as well-rounded and ready-to-go.
That’s more than a good value: it’s an education that’s renewable
and sustainable. What’s more, Morris is listed as a “Best College”
by U.S. News and World Report and Forbes. And it’s why Morris
is a destination for students who are ready to think, create, and act.
Tuition and costs If you’re looking for a comprehensive breakdown of your cost per year,
the table below will help. Because of the Morris tuition structure, when
students take more than 13 credits in a semester, all of the additional
credits are free. And since many Morris students take an average of
15 credits per semester in order to graduate in four years, that means
two free credits a semester. Who doesn’t love that?Committed to making a high-quality liberal arts education available to students around the globe,
the University of Minnesota, Morris charges residents and non-residents the same tuition. This
tuition policy saves non-Minnesota residents $9,500 per year.

After submitting your FAFSA, the Federal
Student Aid Program will send you a Student

any necessary changes to the SAR online at
fafsa.ed.gov or through the mail.
After the results from your FAFSA and
confirmation of your admission are received,
the Morris Financial Aid Office will send a
Financial Aid Award Notification detailing the
types and amounts of scholarships, grants,
work-study, and loans for which you qualify.
The financial aid processThe Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) is a standardized
method of determining your eligibility for financial assistance and is the
only application necessary when applying for financial aid at Morris.
“For a lot of students, choosing a school comes down to financial aid. We know we have to invest in a college education, but no one wants to be in a financial hole after graduation. At Morris, the price was right—and I’m getting an amazing education. It’s probably the best deal I’ll ever make.”
Andrew Joynermanagement
Helping with the cost of educationThe Morris Financial Aid Office staff will walk you through the
process, point out relevant grants and scholarships, talk to you
about student employment programs, and answer questions
about loans and other opportunities.
“Take the initiative to research sources outside of Morris, too. Apply for independent scholarships and grants—don’t underestimate your ability to qualify. I became the first Morris student to be selected as a Udall Scholar and now I receive $5,000 a year to help pay for college.”

“My full-tuition Prairie Scholars Award gives me the freedom to get involved on campus—whether it’s playing intramural sports, taking an active role in student leadership, or attending a seminar for resident advisers.”

“I received a scholarship so I didn’t have to take out loans—which really opened up the possibilities for grad school. I could also make plans for study abroad or an internship in D.C. instead of worrying about a summer job. My scholarship gave me financial breathing room.”
