Minnesota Office of Higher Education Survey

Minnesota is exploring possible changes to how it distributes state financial aid, and policymakers want to hear directly from you!

The Minnesota Office of Higher Education (OHE) is working with Bellwether Consulting to learn more about what students and families like yours think about state financial aid. We want to hear from you, even if you aren’t familiar with state financial aid programs or aren’t sure if you’ll qualify. Your feedback will help Minnesota make decisions about how financial aid should work and who should qualify, so all perspectives are valuable! Click here to learn more.

Who should take this survey: Current high school students, current college students, and/or parents/guardians of current high school and college students. Click here to take the survey.
