Northwest Technical College will join other Minnesota State colleges and universities in celebrating College Knowledge Month by waiving application fees during the month of October.
College Knowledge Month is a statewide effort to provide every graduating high school senior — especially underrepresented students — with the opportunity to apply to college without the barrier of an application fee. High schools and postsecondary institutions work together to engage, inform and support students as they enter into the college application process.
“The colleges and universities of Minnesota State offer a transformational education, and are the most affordable and accessible options in the state,” Devinder Malhotra, chancellor of Minnesota State, said. “I encourage everyone who is considering higher education to take advantage of College Knowledge Month to fully explore the many opportunities available in Minnesota and take the first steps towards a brighter future for themselves and for their families.”
