The state’s Postsecondary Enrollment Options (PSEO) program offers reimbursement to institutions that provide dual enrollment opportunities for high school students. The popular programs in Minnesota and elsewhere allow students to earn college credit for certain high school courses.
However, a law passed in 2023 deemed faith-based institutions in the “Land of 10,000 Lakes” ineligible. The updated requirements for PSEO providers say:
An eligible institution must not require a faith statement from a secondary student seeking to enroll in a postsecondary course under this section during the application process or base any part of the admission decision on a student’s race, creed, ethnicity, disability, gender, or sexual orientation or religious beliefs or affiliations.
