Scholarships & Awards

The Minnesota Career Information System (MCIS) is your go-to college and career planning tool — and it’s especially powerful when you’re ready to pay for college. MCIS combines career info, school research, and financial planning all in one place, so you can explore your options with confidence. _{portal.mn.cis360.org+1}

How It Helps You
MCIS doesn’t just show you schools — it helps you think about how to afford them. You can save your findings to your portfolio, compare opportunities, and pick the options that fit your career and financial goals best. _{portal.mn.cis360.org}
