ND State Scholarship

Governor Burgum signed SB 2289 in April 2021 which established the “North Dakota Scholarship,” which replaced the original Academic and CTE Scholarships.

Starting with the graduating class of 2025, students will ONLY be able to qualify using the new North Dakota Scholarship requirements. The scholarship provides $750 per semester ($1,500/year) for a maximum total of $6000. The scholarship can be used at any approved ND school or apprenticeship program within 6 years of graduating high school.

Please review the North Dakota Scholarship Framework which outlines the scholarship requirements. To become eligible for the new North Dakota Scholarship, students must complete the essential skills portion at the top of the chart, and then two of the three sets of requirements (Post-Secondary Ready, Workforce Ready, and Military Ready) at the bottom of the chart. For more information on the Academic, CTE, and North Dakota Scholarships, please read this guidance or visit the DPI website.

 Applications for the North Dakota Scholarships will open on January 2, and will remain open until June 1. Please send WorkKeys and/or ASVAB scores to NDDPI. Contact Jim Upgren at 701-328-2244 with questions related to the state scholarship.
