Unidentified — agency markets this generically as "Minnesota University"
Minnesota, United States
"Minnesota University" is not the legal name of any accredited US institution, so this cannot be fact-checked as written; it most likely refers to one specific, low-cost, internationally-aggressive Minnesota public university, but which one must be confirmed with the agency before any number is quoted to a family.

Things to know
Do not guess. Below are the public candidates found, each plausible given the profile (low-cost, public, actively discounts tuition for international undergraduates) but none confirmed as THE school the agency means, and none publicly confirmed at a 50-80% international scholarship rate: 1. University of Minnesota, Crookston (umn.edu/crk.umn.edu) — charges international students the in-state rate (no non-resident surcharge); ~$11,648 tuition + $1,640 fees reported for 2023; runs named 2+2 joint programs, but only with Guangxi Normal University (China) and Deakin University (Australia) — no Mongolia partner found. 2. Minnesota State University, Mankato (mnsu.edu) — automatic 'International Maverick Scholarship' for new international undergrads, ~$7,780-$7,800/yr off a ~$20,406-$20,462 published 2026-27 international tuition+fees bill — roughly 38-40%, not 50-80%. 3. Minnesota State University Moorhead (mnstate.edu) — states it has 'automatic scholarships' for incoming international students but does not publish the amount/percentage on the pages retrieved. 4. Southwest Minnesota State University (smsu.edu) — published international awards are much smaller ($500-$2,750), a poor match for a 50-80% claim. The full 'University of Minnesota' (Twin Cities flagship) was not found to offer anything resembling a 50-80% blanket international-undergraduate scholarship and is a poor fit for a 1+3/2+2 low-cost pathway profile.
Ask the agency which exact school they mean (campus name, city) before researching further or quoting any figure to a family. Do not let the '50-80%' figure stand unattributed to a specific institution.
