The North Dakota Scholars Program, a merit-based scholarship, provides approximately 45-50 new freshmen scholarships to North Dakota's best and brightest high school graduates to encourage them to remain in North Dakota to obtain their post-secondary training.
To be eligible for consideration for a North Dakota Scholars Scholarship, a high school junior must take the ACT Assessment between October and June of their junior year and score in the upper five percentile of all North Dakota ACT test takers. The numeric sum of the English, Math, reading and science reasoning scores will be used as a second selection criteria. The numeric sum of a student's English and mathematics scores will be used as selection criteria if a tie-breaker is needed.
The North Dakota Scholars Scholarship is a full-tuition scholarship for students attending North Dakota's public and tribal colleges and a tuition scholarship equal to NDSU/ UND's tuition for students attending North Dakota's private institutions.
The North Dakota Scholars Scholarship is renewable for up to three years provided the recipient maintains a cumulative 3.50 grade point average.
