Minnesota Tech for Success (MTFS) is a tuition-based training program, which means there is a cost to take our courses. MTFS is not a free training program. However, some students may be eligible for specific grants offered through MTFS or one of our employment service provider partners. If you are eligible for and receive grant funding, the grant may cover 100% of the cost of your MTFS training, so you would not have to pay for the training.
Different grants have different eligibility requirements. The factors listed below are examples of circumstances that may be considered when determining eligibility for certain grants. Meeting one or more of these criteria does not guarantee that you will qualify for a grant or receive funding. Eligibility depends on the specific requirements of the grant program and your individual circumstances.
Examples of factors that may be considered include being an individual of color, lacking a high school diploma, experiencing unstable housing, being unemployed for 15 or more weeks within the past 52 weeks, or having a criminal record. Other factors may include having an income at or below 200% of the Federal Poverty Level (FPL), living with a disability, or having limited skills proficiency.
You may also be eligible for certain grants if you receive unemployment benefits (UI), TANF/MFIP/DWP, SNAP, free or reduced-price school lunch, or SSI/SSDI benefits. Other circumstances that may be considered for certain grants include having a basic skills deficiency, being a qualified military spouse, or being affected by a non-work-related injury or illness.
If you are already working with an employment counselor, case manager, or other workforce development professional, you may already have access to training funds through their program. We recommend speaking with them first to find out whether you have available funding that can be used toward the cost of MTFS training.
For students currently enrolled in MN WIOA workforce development programs, Minnesota Tech for Success is licensed by the Minnesota Office of Higher Education, is WIOA-approved, and can be found on the Eligible Training Provider List (ETPL). Your employment counselor can help you determine whether you are eligible for WIOA funding or other workforce development funds that may cover the cost of your MTFS training.
