School boards may use school funds to provide postsecondary scholarships and grants to students who complete career and technical education (CTE) programs

Eligible students must apply during their senior year, successfully complete the CTE course that generated net proceeds, and graduate from a Minnesota high school

Funding comes from net proceeds when a CTE program's revenue exceeds its operating costs, with individual scholarship/grant amounts determined by the district not to exceed annual net proceeds

Scholarships and grants may cover postsecondary tuition and expenses, certificate programs, or registered apprenticeship costs; grants may also fund supplies for students entering the workforce or military

Districts offering these scholarships/grants must report program revenue and expenditures to the Department of Education; effective July 1, 2025
