SUN Bucks Eligibility Data Upload Portal (EDU-Portal) is Now Open!
The Minnesota Department of Education (MDE), in partnership with Minnesota Information Technology (MNIT), has launched the SUN Bucks EDU-Portal—a new system that allows schools to securely upload student data to determine eligibility for SUN Bucks program benefits. The portal is now live and ready for schools to begin submitting student information. The portal will remain open throughout the summer for schools to upload student data and will officially close for the 2025 SUN Bucks data submission on September 5, 2025.
