ND State Scholarship
The Academic and CTE Scholarship is changing! We are in a state of transition over the next few years and this page will attempt to clarify the requirements for all of our current options. If you have questions about any of the options or if you are on track for the scholarships, please reach out to Mrs. Leingang!
Classes of 2022, 2023, and 2024 get an option of all 3 scholarships. The class of 2025 and beyond will graduate under the North Dakota Scholarship requirements only!
