“One important
role of the Minnesota Office of Higher Education is to provide clear
and objective information. We provide this information to students,
so they can make informed decisions about college and how to pay for
it. We also provide information to policymakers, educators and the
higher education sector as a whole, so that they can make informed
policy decisions for improved performance. Minnesota is home to many
excellent postsecondary options. The mission of this agency is to
advance the promise of higher education to all Minnesotans, and we
do that through our financial aid programs, a 529 college savings
plan, information for students and parents, outreach and our work in
research, analysis and higher education accountability.” |
