Scholarships & Tuition Assistance

This page offers information about the Cultural Diversity Tuition Waiver,  Ethnicity-Based Scholarships, and other scholarships or financial assistance for multicultural students.  We have also included lists of scholarships that have been available through various colleges at NDSU as a guide to what may be available to all students.

This information is not intended to be all-inclusive, but rather an idea of what help is out there.   Your academic department and OneStop may be able to give you additional resources.

While applications for admission to most programs at NDSU can be submitted as late as one month prior to the beginning of each semester, the early filing of the admission application is especially important if you can apply for financial aid and housing. If you are interested in starting at NDSU for fall semester, we strongly recommend applying for admission as early as January. Application forms can be obtained from the Office of Admissions.

Cultural Diversity Tuition Waiver

The Cultural Diversity Tuition Waiver is administered by NDSU's Office of Admission. In general, however, all new, incoming first-year and transfer 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 under provisional status.  Complete benefits and limitations of the scholarship can be found on the Office of Admission website at https://www.ndsu.edu/admission/financial_aid/diversity_waiver . All questions should be addressed to the NDSU Office of Admission.
