*家庭调整总收入(AGI)是什么意思?

Adjusted Gross Income (AGI) information comes from the Federal 1040 Income Tax Return. The first year of the North Star Promise Scholarship program is the 2024-2025 academic year and the corresponding FAFSA or Minnesota Dream Act application asks about prior year AGI. 换句话说，2022年的AGI. 这可以在1040的第11行找到.

受抚养学生将获得其父母的AGI, 如果适用的话，还有继父或继母, 考虑到该计划的家庭AGI门槛低于80美元,000. 受抚养学生的AGI将不被考虑. 当父母离婚时, 分居或未婚, 不要住在一起, the parent who provides more financial support to the student should be the parent of record for the FAFSA or Minnesota Dream Act. This is the parent whose income will be reviewed when determining eligibility for North Star Promise. If the parent who provides more financial support has remarried as of the date the FAFSA or Minnesota Dream Act is filed, the stepparent’s AGI will also be taken into account when determining eligibility.

Independent students will have the AGI of the student considered for program eligibility. 如果学生已婚, 学生和配偶的总收入必须低于80美元,为了有资格获得北极星承诺奖学金. You can review what makes a student either dependent or independent here.

你能收到多少钱?

最长期限没有限制, 每年, 或者你可以获得的终身奖励金额. The amount you receive is based on the "last-dollar" calculation of your eligibility on a term-by-term basis. You can receive up to 100% of the amount charged in tuition and required fees per term, 减去你收到的所有其他捐赠资助.

For students earning 2-year degrees, you can receive the award for a total of 60 credits. For students earning 4-year degrees, you can receive the award for a total of 120 credits.

If funds are available, the highest-need students may also receive North Star Promise Plus funds. 有关该计划条款的细节仍在确定中.

奖项是如何确定的?

The college or university you are attending will calculate your award amount based on the eligibility requirements and award calculation. 他们将决定你的学费和所需的费用, 减去所有其他捐赠资助来源(奖学金), 奖助金, waivers and 津贴) and award the remaining amount in a North Star Promise scholarship.

如何通知学生他们的奖学金?

Students are notified of their scholarship through the college or university’s standard awarding process.

“最后一美元”是什么意思?

在计算你的奖励前, “last-dollar” programs consider any other sources of gift aid funding that you receive. “赠予援助”是一种不需要偿还的经济援助, 比如奖学金, 奖助金, 津贴, 第三方支付和学费减免. 贷款和勤工俭学不是奖学金的来源. The goal of this strategy is to utilize available program funds to provide as many eligible students as possible a tuition- and fee-free pathway to a college education. 

奖学金可以续期吗?? 如果有，持续多久?

As a last-dollar scholarship, this award is calculated on a term-by-term basis. 如果你获得了新的捐赠资助来源, 北极星承诺奖学金将重新计算.

You must continue to meet the 令人满意的学业进展 (SAP) standards at your school.

没有获得奖励的最长时间限制. 然而, for students earning 2-year degrees, you can receive the award for a total of 60 credits. For students earning 4-year degrees, you can receive the award for a total of 120 credits. The maximum credits for which any student is eligible is a total of 120 credits.

我可以有资格但不能获得奖励吗?

是的. If you meet all of the eligibility requirements but the total of your other sources of “gift aid” already covers the amount of your tuition and required fees, 你将不会获得北极星承诺奖学金. This is because the sum of your other aid has already provided you with enough funds to cover your tuition and required fees charges.

然而, if you do not receive a North Star Promise Scholarship because other financial aid already covers your tuition and fees, 你仍会被考虑申请北极星承诺加基金. 有关该计划条款的细节仍在确定中.

北极星承诺奖学金有年龄限制吗?

不，参加这个项目没有年龄限制.

In order to qualify, do I have to be a new, first-time student in the 2024-25 school year?

No, the program is open to new and returning students who meet the eligibility criteria.
