2010-11 Academic Year

To be eligible for scholarships, students must be admitted to the University by February 5, 2010 for priority scholarship consideration.  Students admitted after this date may be placed on an alternate list pending availability of funds.

Scholarships for pre-freshman students are determined by analyzing high school grades (or GED score) and ACT or SAT scores

High school students should take a college examination (preferably the ACT) in their junior year or early in their senior year of high school, and request that the results be sent to UND by February 5 for top consideration.

NOTE:  It is not necessary to designate a specific scholarship at the time of admission.  Students will be matched with the appropriate scholarship through information received from school records and application forms.

Students may accept non-UND scholarships without jeopardizing the amount of their UND scholarship.  This includes National Merit, the North Dakota Scholars Program and any scholarship from national, local, church or civic organizations.
