Scholarship Program
General Scholarships
Program Scholarships
The College of Agriculture, Food Systems, and Natural Resources at
North Dakota State University provides one of the best college-based
scholarship programs in the Upper Midwest.
Scholarships range from $100 to $2,000 per year. Some are renewable
for up to four years, depending on the student's academic performance.
The College selectively matches several of its scholarships for gifted
incoming freshmen with scholarships administered by the Office of
Admission.
Funds for scholarships are provided by individuals, companies, foundations
and organizations who are aware of the commitment a student must make
to complete a college education. They established these scholarships
to encourage students who are willing to pursue academic excellence
while enrolled in the College of Agriculture, Food Systems, and Natural
Resources at NDSU. Scholarship recipients and donors are recognized
at a luncheon held on campus each year.
The scholarships and awards listed in this brochure are divided into
two categories:
College of Agriculture, Food Systems, and Natural Resources
General Scholarships — awarded to students enrolled in the College,
regardless of their major program of study.
Program Scholarships — awarded through departments in the
College to students enrolled in specific academic programs.

How are the recipients
selected?
Scholarship recipients are selected based on criteria established
by donors for each scholarship. Most incoming freshman scholarships
are awarded competitively on the basis of scholastic achievement and
ACT scores. Current and transfer students are awarded scholarships
primarily on the basis of academic performance.
The College of Agriculture, Food Systems, and Natural Resources Scholarship
Committee selects recipients for the general scholarships. Recipients
are notified in late April or early May. If a scholarship is declined,
a new recipient is chosen from a list of alternates. Program scholarships
are awarded through selection procedures established by the individual
departments/academic programs.
