School districts and cooperative units may use net proceeds from career and technical education (CTE) programs to fund postsecondary scholarships and grants for students who completed those programs

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

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

Districts must report revenue and expenditures for these scholarship/grant programs to the Department of Education, which may provide accounting guidelines for calculating net proceeds
