Minnesota-Manitoba Reciprocity

The province of Manitoba has established a tuition reciprocity agreement with the state of Minnesota (USA). This agreement allows Minnesota residents to pay the same tuition at participating post-secondary institutions as Manitoba residents.

What is Tuition Reciprocity?

Students from Minnesota will pay the same fees as a Canadian student when attending The Manitoba Institute of Trades and Technology.

Who's Eligible for Tuition Reciprocity Benefits in Manitoba?

If you are a Minnesota resident, you are eligible for reciprocity benefits when you enroll at The Manitoba Institute of Trades and Technology and submit the required supporting documentation (see below).

What Rate Will I Pay?
