NDSU will add the award to your Campus Connection account and automatically accept this award for students. Because your North Dakota State Grant is based on your enrollment status on a specified time and date, as published in the Dates and Deadlines, plan your registration accordingly or your state grant may be adjusted. Wait list classes are not counted as enrolled credits. There is a lifetime maximum award of 8 full-time semesters. More detailed information on the North Dakota State Grant program.
