Financial aid money is available to help students pay for college. This includes grants, work-study and low-interest loans. Aid can come from the U.S. federal government, the state or the College.
Unlike loans, scholarships never have to be paid back. They are a great way to help pay for college. Performance-based scholarships not only assist with your financial needs, they are a reward for your hard work and distinguish you as an outstanding student.
Scholarships are available from a variety of sources; therefore, you need to be resourceful and initiate the process early each year. Typically, scholarship recipients are selected in the spring (February through May) for the upcoming academic year.
Sponsorships are designed to assist students with the affordability of their college education and assist businesses with recruiting and retaining qualified employees for industries that are experiencing a workforce shortage.
It is important to know what college will cost and what your options are regarding paying for it. The information below can assist you in preparing to pay for college, along with other information related to your NDSCS Account. Your NDSCS Account reflects actual costs and payments each semester, including financial aid, while attending NDSCS.
