NDSU Scholarships
The NDSU scholarship application is available for current students to submit between November 1 and March 1.
Students who complete and submit a scholarship application will be automatically considered for general university and college-specific scholarships for which they qualify.
Students may also apply for additional scholarships within the application system that include further criteria or requirements (such as supplemental questions, essays, etc.).
Even once you've submitted your scholarship application, check back often to see if you could qualify for any additional awards.
