International Students

International Students are eligible for a significant reduction in non-resident undergraduate tuition rates through the International Maverick Scholarship.

Legacy Students

Children of Minnesota State Mankato alumni who live outside of Minnesota will be offered the same tuition rate as Minnesota resident students to attend the University.
