Minnesota Dream Act Application
Be sure to print out the instructions designed especially for Minnesota financial aid applicants to help guide students through the application. Since the online application is used by colleges in other states for a different purpose, there will be many questions that will not be used for Minnesota state financial aid. The instructions will identify those questions and let students know they can either skip the question or enter any response.

Notice to Applicants
Section 7(b) of the Federal Privacy Act of 1974 (5 U.S.C. 552a) requires that when any federal, state, or local government agency asks you to disclose your Social Security Account Number, you must be advised whether that disclosure is mandatory or voluntary, by what statutory or other authority the number is solicited, and what uses will be made of it. Accordingly, you are being advised that disclosure of your Social Security number is voluntary. If you do not provide a Social Security number, a 9-digit identifier will be created by the application system which can be used in place of a Social Security number. If you have a Social Security number, it will be used to verify your identity, and as an identifier of your application in order to record necessary data accurately. As an identifier, the Social Security number is used for such purposes as processing the application form, program evaluation, and reporting and notification of program eligibility and award amount to your postsecondary institution.
