Financial Aid

The Minnesota West Financial Aid office provides services, programs and opportunities for student financial assistance. We hope that the information we offer for financial assistance, in combination with the resources expected from you and/or your family, will enable you to achieve your educational goals at Minnesota West.

Email Notification – Once Minnesota West receives FAFSA data for you, email communication will be sent (personal and institutional email address) to provide updates as to the status of your financial aid. ONLY if no email address is available will a status update be sent to you through the postal service. A paper copy of financial aid correspondence is available upon request. Call 800-658-2330 to request.
