Scholarships and Discounts
Scholarships
Scholarships are available for all Curiosity Camps through the College of Continuing Education. They are funded by a wide range of donors, and are meant to assist learners who could not participate in the College's programs without some help.
To be eligible for a scholarship, you must be a Minnesota resident who has had a two-year or longer break in your education, including part-time attendance. The years need not be consecutive nor need they immediately precede your application. You also must demonstrate financial need in accordance with the College's guidelines, which are especially geared to adults.
To apply, complete the two-page application form and prepare your personal statement of no more than 500 words. Please note that even though the application form specifies that a transcript must be submitted, Curiosity Camp applicants are NOT required to submit transcripts.
For full information and to download the application form for noncredit offerings, visit Financial Aid Resources. If you have questions, call 612-624-4000 or e-mail.
Discount Options
University of Minnesota staff, students, or faculty; University of Minnesota Alumni Association (UMAA) members; and Circle of Scholars members receive a discounted rate of $100 per Curiosity Camp.
You may only use one discount per Camp. Select the appropriate discount option when registering online or by mail or fax, or mention your discount eligibility when registering by phone.
