Concurrent Enrollment Grant Program
Helping colleges expand opportunities for students to earn high school and college credit through concurrent enrollment course offerings.
The Concurrent Enrollment Grant Program (CEGP) aims to increase access to postsecondary education for Minnesota high school students by providing funds to postsecondary institutions for the development of new concurrent enrollment courses and the expansion of existing concurrent enrollment programs. The Minnesota Office of Higher Education administers CEGP per Minnesota Statutes 136A.91, which was established by the Minnesota Legislature in 2015.
FY25 Concurrent Enrollment Program Grantees were announced in February 2025. The next application window will open in 2026.
An eligible applicant may apply For CEGP funding to support either of the following eligible program initiatives:
- New Career and Technical Education (CTE) Concurrent Enrollment Courses: Develop new concurrent enrollment courses under Minnesota Statutes, section 124D.09, subdivision 10 that satisfy the elective standard for career and technical education.
- Expansion of Existing Concurrent Enrollment Program: Expand concurrent enrollment programs already offered by the postsecondary institution and support the preparation, recruitment, and success of students who are underrepresented in concurrent enrollment classrooms by creating new sections within the same high school or offering the existing course in new high schools.
Courses must not be developmental (remedial) courses or any other course that is not college level.
An applicant may elect to pursue both program initiatives; therefore, would be required to submit two separate proposals. Each proposal would be evaluated and awarded separately.
Total appropriation and grant award amount available for fiscal year 2025 is $640,877. Applicants are not limited by a maximum grant amount. However, applicants may receive partial grant awards based upon competitive priority parameters, budget efficiency and/or availability of grant funds.
