Normandale Cares Emergency Grant

The Emergency Grant application for students who are enrolled during Fall 2025 term is now closed. All available funds have been allocated for the fall term.  The grant application will reopen if additional funds become available.  We are grateful for the opportunity to provide this funding to our students.

Please reach out to Normandale’s Student Resource Center if you need basic needs support, including connecting students to relevant campus and community resources

During the application period, students can apply for grants of up to $500 to help cover unexpected expenses just beyond their means, which allows them to quickly return focus to their academic pursuits.

Students also will be referred to additional campus and community resources to address root causes or contributing factors to the financial emergencies, and further support students' persistence. 

You must be an admitted current student enrolled in courses at Normandale and apply with your my.normandale.edu or my.minnstate.edu email account. 

• Requests that do not come from normandale/minnstate accounts will be denied. 
• If you are taking courses at multiple Minnesota State Colleges and Universities, you should request funding through your home school. 
• Awards are based on availability of funding. Students are eligible for only one payment each academic year.
• PSEO students are not eligible to receive emergency grant funding.
