Military Scholarship

In recent years North Dakota military members have been activated at one of the highest rates per capita in the nation. These members and their families have made significant sacrifices for the good of our state and country, and this fund has been developed to honor our dedicated servicemen and women and their families.

Fourteen $1,000 scholarships are available to dependents of a member of a ND military unit.

Criteria:

Applicant must have a 2.5 GPA or higher and be a full time student.
Applicant must be the dependent of a member of a North Dakota military unit/installation.
Applicant must be a graduate of or currently live in a Dollars for Scholars community.
A copy of your most recent unofficial high school or college transcript must be included with your application.

All applications and a copy of the student's transcript are due to the state office postmarked no later than April 1 and winners will be notified in May. Checks will be sent to the colleges in August for use in the fall semester. Additional awards will be created as donations allow for special preference to be given to those dependents that have parents who have been deployed overseas, injured or killed in action.
