FAQ
Who are multicultural students?
Most multicultural students attending NDSU come from these groups: African American/Black; American Indian/Alaskan Native; Asian/Pacific Islander; and Hispanic/Latino. Students from other traditionally underrepresented groups are also considered multicultural. All are either permanent residents or U.S. citizens.
What’s the difference between Multicultural Student Services and International Programs?
Multicultural Student Services serves students who are either permanent residents or citizens of the United States while NDSU’s International Programs Office serves students who are temporarily in the United States, studying under a student visa. In addition, International Programs serves NDSU students interested in pursuing educational experiences in other countries.
Who is eligible to apply for the Cultural Diversity Tuition Waiver?
All multicultural students who are U.S. citizens or permanent residents are eligible to apply for the waiver. Students must be fully admitted to NDSU, not under conditional nor provisional status.
How can I apply for financial aid from my home reservation?
Students can obtain applications for tribal scholarships at the Multicultural Student Services Office, 302 Ceres Hall, NDSU. The MSS Office also provides application forms for other financial assistance available through American Indian education departments and offices on North Dakota reservations.
How can I get involved in multicultural activities?
Students can get involved by contacting the Multicultural Student Services Office at (701) 231-1029. Many cultural and social events involve student organizations. The MSS Staff also invites student organization members to help plan a number of cultural programs, including Cultural Awareness Month, American Indian Heritage Month, Black History Month, and the Woodlands and High Plains Powwow.
How do I join the multicultural student organizations?
Students can join multicultural student organizations by attending events early in Fall Semester. Student socials in August and September serve to “jump-start” the organizations for the new academic year. If students are unable to attend these events, they should contact the organization presidents, Student Activities Office at (701) 231-7787, or the MSS Office at (701) 231-1029.
