^{All applicants must demonstrate proof of English proficiency in order to be considered for graduate admission.}

Graduate assistantship opportunities within the College of Business are very limited. All MSBA students are admitted without funding.

There may be case-by-case opportunities to apply for graduate assistantship positions after having gained admission to the program, but they are not guaranteed. Current MSBA students and those admitted by March 31 for fall or October 31 for spring may be eligible to apply for department GA positions (if available) for the following semester. Application information will be sent via email by the program director. Current students receive priority consideration over newly-admitted/incoming students.

Students also may search and apply for relevant graduate service assistantships from other units within the university through NDSU's Handshake platform. Status as an admitted or current student with an NDSU.edu email account is required in order to view NDSU positions in Handshake.

College of Business graduate student scholarships also are quite limited.

We do not offer scholarships to new/incoming students.

Current graduate students may apply for scholarships by submitting the general university scholarship application during the application window between November 1 and March 1 each year. Current students who submit the scholarship application and are selected for an award will see it apply to their account during the following academic year.

Many companies provide educational benefits to their employees in the form of tuition reimbursement or other financial support. We encourage students who plan to working as benefitted employees during their graduate studies to speak with their supervisor and/or Human Resources department to see if such a program exists for them.

U.S. citizens and eligible non-citizens may qualify to be considered for federal student aid by completing the FAFSA. Questions regarding financial aid should be directed to NDSU's One Stop office.
