Emergency Grants

Hennepin Tech Crisis Grant

Hennepin Technical College has assistance available for students facing unexpected financial emergencies during the academic year. The crisis grants were created to help students stay in college and achieve their educational goals. Funds are dispersed on a first come, first served basis to eligible students while funds last.

Thanks to an allocation of $2.25 million dollars in the 2023 legislative session, Minnesota State Colleges and Universities are able to offer direct emergency grants to students each year of the biennium. This funding aims to ease financial burdens and ensure that students can focus on their education without additional stress. Students can now apply for emergency grants to assist with various needs though a simple electronic application.
