North Dakota higher education officials<\/a> are deeply worried about losing students and revenue in 2024 when neighboring Minnesota makes public college and university tuition free for thousands of residents.<\/p>\n

Officials estimate around 15,000 to 20,000 Minnesota students a year will use the free North Star Promise program, and North Dakota education officials are projecting an $8.4 million loss in combined tuition and fees in the first year alone, under one scenario.<\/p>\n

Roughly 1,400 Minnesota students attending North Dakota colleges and universities might be eligible for the new program.<\/p>\n

“This has catastrophic implications,” said David Cook, North Dakota State University’s president, at a recent State Board of Higher Education meeting. “This is a very serious situation for us.”<\/p>\n

Minnesota students make up close to half the student body at North Dakota State in Fargo, their No. 1 out-of-state pick in their first year. They accounted for nearly 40% of the first-year students at the University of North Dakota in Grand Forks and North Dakota State College of Science in Wahpeton in fall 2021.<\/p>\n

“Probably half of our football team comes from Minnesota, so that\u2019s kind of a big deal to us,” College of Science President Rod Flanigan said.<\/p>\n

North Star Promise will cover undergraduate tuition and fees at Minnesota’s public post-secondary schools for students whose family income is below $80,000 after they’ve tapped other sources of financial aid. It will take effect in fall 2024.<\/p>\n

NEW YORK’S FREE TUITION PROGRAM COMES WITH A MAJOR CATCH<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n

Kari Rod, 38, of Brooklyn Center, Minnesota<\/a>, said North Star Promise will help her go back to college and finish her degree without taking on more student loans, and encourage her 13-year-old stepson to enroll in-state after high school.<\/p>\n

“Our family had seriously considered moving” so the teen could take advantage of a program that covers college tuition for students who graduate from public schools in Kalamazoo, Michigan, Rod said. But after Minnesota\u2019s program passed, they decided to stay.<\/p>\n

The program also “opens up the world of possibilities” for her 5-year-old\u2019s future, Rod said.<\/p>\n

According to the Campaign for Free College Tuition, a national nonprofit, more than half the states now offer some kind of free college tuition, often with the word “Promise” in their program names. Seven set few eligibility limits.<\/p>\n

Many others, like Minnesota, have income limits, have merit requirements, or are limited to specific schools or majors. The group says making higher education affordable for everyone is imperative to a workforce with the skills needed for the U.S. to compete in the global marketplace.<\/p>\n

Democratic state Sen. Tim Mathern said he is drafting a bill similar to Minnesota\u2019s program but for North Dakotans. He acknowledged the headwinds Democrats face in North Dakota\u2019s Republican-supermajority Legislature.<\/p>\n

“I don\u2019t think we should decry what Minnesota has done,” Mathern said. “We should be spending our time being creative about what our abilities are.”<\/p>\n

North Dakota education officials estimate it would cost over $17.2 million annually to pay tuition and fees for all students eligible for federal Pell Grants, amounting to about 4,300 students at five schools.<\/p>\n

THOUSANDS ADDITIONAL PRISONERS TO GET FREE COLLEGE DEGREES AS FEDERAL PROGRAM EXPANDS<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n

Minnesota\u2019s move hasn\u2019t sparked the same fears in other neighboring states. University of Wisconsin officials are expanding a free tuition program that started at its flagship Madison campus to 12 more schools this fall.<\/p>\n

The presidents of North Dakota State and the University of North Dakota are leading a group to address the potential impacts of Minnesota’s free tuition on their schools, which are already recruiting students for fall 2024.<\/p>\n

Lawmakers also plan to explore the implications through an interim legislative panel ahead of the next session in 2025.<\/p>\n

“When we have all these alternate (education) delivery methods, and we have a traditional student base that is shrinking, and we have workforce issues \u2014 all of these things are creating an issue that\u2019s bigger than a one-state response,” said Republican Rep. Mark Sanford, who chairs the panel.<\/p>\n

Republican House Majority Leader<\/a> Mike Lefor said he doesn’t want to “rush into a decision” on responding.<\/p>\n

“We can\u2019t just be reacting to different situations from different states,” Lefor told reporters. “We have to have good, solid policy going forward.”<\/p>\n

North Dakota\u2019s Legislature this year froze tuition statewide for all students for the next two years, a move meant to be competitive with neighboring states, including Minnesota.<\/p>\n

Lawmakers need to respond while acknowledging that campus programs will still draw out-of-state students, said North Dakota University System Chancellor Mark Hagerott.<\/p>\n

“I’m confident we can avoid catastrophe,” he said.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
