As per the article
"Applicants should have graduated from a Minnesota high school or must have lived within the state for at least a year without getting enrolled in college for six months. They also should have applied for Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) or state aid."
A FAFSA is a federal document that's almost always filed electronically. Applicants for aid need a social security number for document - so legal immigrants with visas can't file either. I'm not sure how Minnesota would work around this.
Also, the student needs to have graduated from a Minnesota HS and/or lived in the state for a year. So it's not like someone can get off a plane and demand free tuition.
Lastly, it only covers tuition, not other expenses (books, dorms, transportation) and even that is out of reach for many.
Because they aren't relying on any Federal money. Minnesota is paying the tab, not Uncle Sam.
Illegals get free college in Minn. thanks to the taxpayers of Minn.
And student loan payments resume so American citizens have to pay up for their college loans.
The Dems really put themselves in a corner with their love for the illegals.
Free college for illegals but citizens have to take out a loan.
Free college for anyone who breaks our law entering illegally who can make it to Minnesota! Gotta love it! We are such a generous and progressive country! Some of these illegals might be our boss someday, and they clearly deserve it. Following the law, paying for your own crap, etc... That's for squares/republicans!
Send all the buses from Texas straight to the admissions office

Minnesota requires the students to file FAFSA before they can qualify for the Minnesota program. If they don't file their FAFSA (illegals cannot) then they don't get state money.

Maybe that's all changed with this law...web site says FAFSA OR Minn Dream Act application.
Laws are changing daily and weekly now so people need to start verifying stuff.
Stop assuming.

A note for all Minnesota students currently attending, or planning to attend, a Minnesota college or university: In order to access any of the State's existing or new financial aid programs, you must fill out a Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) or MN Dream Act application.
So Minn has their own Dream Act as well.

Undocumented students can apply for state financial aid by accessing the online MN Dream Act - State Financial Aid application. To be eligible for the MN State Grant, the application must be submitted no later than the 30th day of the term. The results of the application can also be used to qualify for in-state tuition rates at the University of Minnesota Twin Cities and Duluth campuses. Students attending Minnesota State campuses should also use this application to apply for state financial aid, but should apply for in-state tuition rates directly with the Minnesota State campus.
And don't think this will only happen in Minn. Other pro-illegal states may jump on board.
Imagine..citizens working their butts off to pay taxes so illegals can get stuff literally for "FREE".
One hopes at some point the left start caring about the people that are citizens.
