North Dakota Academic or CTE and North Dakota Scholarships.
Two merit-base scholarships were created during the 2009 legislative session: the North Dakota Academic Scholarship and the North Dakota Career & Technical (CTE) Scholarship. These scholarships are aimed at increasing high school rigor and retaining college students in North Dakota.
The new North Dakota scholarship was created during the 2021 Legislative Session through the approval of SB2289. It will gradually replace the current Academic and CTE Scholarships. Students graduating in 2022, 2023, or 2024 can use either the old (Academic/CTE Scholarship) requirements, or the new North Dakota Scholarship requirements. Starting with the graduating class of 2025, students can only use the new North Dakota Scholarship requirements. Students cannot earn more than one of the three scholarships (Academic, CTE, or North Dakota). The purpose of the new North Dakota Scholarship is to align scholarship requirements to the Choice Ready initiative. The new requirements align to Choice Ready, but will be more rigorous that what is required for Choice Ready. Please click here for more information on the new North Dakota Scholarship.
