The Summer Transition Grant program provides financial assistance to eligible students attending eligible research-based high school-to-college summer developmental transition programs offered by Minnesota colleges and universities in the summer between high school graduation and the freshman year of postsecondary education. The purpose of summer transition programs is to develop the skills and abilities necessary to be ready for college-level coursework when the student enrolls in a postsecondary degree, diploma or certificate program.

Eligible institutions include all private and public colleges and universities in Minnesota that have summer transition programs approved by the Office of Higher Education.
