Fond du Lac Tribal and Community College (FDLTCC) is among the 30 colleges and seven universities in Minnesota that is waiving application fees in October for all or part of College Knowledge Month, an annual statewide effort to encourage students to apply to college. “We have participated in the application fee waiver during College Knowledge Month every October for several years,” says Susan Bumann, admissions representative at FDLTCC. “It really does encourage future college students to start the application process sooner rather than later, which is a win-win opportunity for everyone.”

FDLTCC has chosen to waive application fees for the entire month of October, 2016. Most Minnesota state colleges and universities are waiving application fees from October 24-31, 2016. Application fees for qualified low-income students are always waived at all Minnesota’s state system of colleges and universities.

“Minnesota State is proud of our commitment to offer all Minnesotans an extraordinary education that is an exceptional value,” says Steven Rosenstone, chancellor. “An important way we keep that commitment is by making it easy for high school students to take the first step on their higher education journey. That’s why we are waiving our application fees as part of College Knowledge Month.”
