NDSU first-year students can take advantage of several scholarship opportunities.
NDSU scholarships help make an exceptional education even more affordable for talented first-year students just like you. Each year, NDSU awards nearly $3.5 million in scholarships to new, first-year students.
“We are pleased to offer a number of scholarships to incoming NDSU students as a way to recognize outstanding academic achievement,” said Seinquis Leinien, Interim Director of Admission. “In addition to other forms of financial aid, it is our hope that scholarships remove financial barriers and allow students the ability to focus on excelling in their studies and extracurricular interests.”
