Amidst worries about losing MN students who are attracted by generous scholarships in their home state, ND State announced a new program seeking to keep such students in the state.
BISMARCK, N.D. — North Dakota State University on Thursday announced a new scholarship program amid higher education leaders' worries of losing Minnesota students eligible for free tuition in their home state under a new program beginning next year. The university is offering its Tuition Award Program for the 2024-25 school year. Minnesota's North Star Promise program begins in fall 2024.
North Dakota State University President David Cook has spoken of 'catastrophic implications' due to North Star Promise. North Dakota State is the No. 1 out-of-state choice for first-year Minnesota students, who make up nearly half its student body. The Fargo-based university is just across the Red River from Minnesota. The Tuition Award Program came about because of North Star Promise, confirmed Seinquis Leinen, the university’s senior director of strategic enrollment management.
