North Dakota and Minnesota National Guard Members Get 15% Tuition Discount at MSUM
Minnesota State University Moorhead signed a preferred partnership agreement on November 10 with the North Dakota National Guard and the Minnesota National Guard, offering tuition benefits to Guard members and employees from both states.
Under the agreement, North Dakota and Minnesota National Guard members and employees enrolled at the university receive a 15% tuition discount and pay in-state resident tuition rates regardless of which state they live in. The agreement was signed by MSUM President Tim Downs, Minnesota National Guard Brigadier General Jason Benson and North Dakota National Guard Brigadier General Mitchell Johnson.
The signing ceremony kicked off the university’s Veterans Week. The week concludes on Saturday with a military appreciation football game at the Fargodome in Fargo, where the Moorhead Dragons face the Minnesota State Mankato Mavericks and an Army National Guard rope team from North Dakota will perform. The university said the agreement is meant to thank service members for their contributions to their communities and the country, while helping them complete a college education and build career skills at lower cost.
