- Have a high school diploma or a General Education Development (GED) certificate.
- Be a U.S. citizen or an eligible non-citizen.

Financial Aid Offer
Financial Aid is intended to help bridge the gap between the cost of attending Moraine Park and the resources you and your family are expected to contribute.
Your Financial Aid offer:
- Lists the types of aid and the amounts of funds you are eligible to receive for the aid year.
- Is based on full time enrollment:
- If you enroll in less credits or drop classes prior to the date of record and your eligibility for financial aid changes, your aid will be revised (see section on disbursement for more information) to the new credit level.
- Uses the most current information available regarding your grade level, enrollment status, housing plans and academic progress.
- Eligibility may change if the criteria used to calculate the financial aid offer was inaccurate or has changed.
- Is contingent upon available federal, state, outside agency and/or college funding sources.
If, at any time, Moraine Park receives notification that your eligibility for a fund changes, your financial aid offer will be revised and all previous offers will be considered void.
There are two types of financial aid and students will be offered a combination of the following:
- Gift Aid - Includes grants and scholarships, which do not have to be repaid or earned through work.
- Self-Help Aid - Includes loans that must be repaid and work-study funds that must be earned by working.
