The North Dakota Scholars Program, a merit-based scholarship, provides approximately 40-45 new freshmen scholarships to North Dakota's best and brightest high school graduates to encourage them to remain in North Dakota to obtain their post-secondary training.

To be eligible for consideration of a North Dakota Scholars Scholarship, a high school senior must score in the upper fifth percentile of all North Dakota ACT test takers between October of their junior year through October of their senior year and must also be in the upper 20 percent of their high school graduating class at the end of their junior year.

The North Dakota Scholars Scholarship is a full tuition scholarship for students attending North Dakota's public and tribal colleges and a tuition scholarship equal to NDSU/UND's tuition for students attending North Dakota's private institutions. The North Dakota Scholars Scholarship is renewable for up to three years provided the recipient maintains a cumulative 3.50 grade point average.
