Eligible students are identified through an item on the application for admission. The item asks if any members of the applicant's family graduated from UMD and the name and relationship to the applicant. Please call Chris Haidos, the assistant director of Student Support Services at 218-726-8826 or email him at chaidos@d.umn.edu for more information.
