Is There A Special Grant For North Dakota Students?

By Cindy Sanford

The North Dakota State Grant, also referred to as North Dakota State Student Incentive Grant, is for eligible North Dakota residents who are attending an in-state higher education institution with an approved program that takes at least two years to complete. Qualifying institutions include state-accredited public, tribal and private schools. You need to be enrolled at least quarter-time and attending college for the first time.

This is a need-based grant. This means you can only receive it if you have a financial need along with meeting the other criteria. Since funding is limited, early application is recommended. You apply annually by completing your FAFSA as soon as possible after October 1 for the following school year. Your FAFSA information will determine if you have a financial need.

You can receive up to $1,100 per semester or $733 per quarter, based on the number of credits you take. Since this is a grant, it does not need to be repaid.

To qualify, you must have graduated from a high school or be home-educated in North Dakota. Additionally, you could have received a GED from the ND Superintendent of Public Instruction. You may also qualify if you graduate from a high school in a bordering state as defined by ND Century Code 15.1-29. If you must enroll in an out-of-state school because of a medical disability, you may also qualify for the North Dakota State Grant. Contact North Dakota University Systems at ndinaid@ndus.edu to check if you are eligible.
