• Scholarship FAQ

  When should I apply for study abroad scholarships?

  • You should apply for our scholarships a semester in advance, and if you are participating in a summer program, you have two opportunities to apply
    • October 1 deadline: Winter break, spring break, spring and summer programs.
    • March 1 deadline: summer, fall, and academic year programs.

  How do I find out if my existing academic scholarship will apply to study abroad?

  • Almost all academic scholarships work for study abroad as long as you take the required number of credits. Still it is important to verify that your scholarship will apply as a part of your financial planning. Please contact your study abroad advisor for information on this process.

  How do I find out if my existing tuition waiver or discount will apply to study abroad?

  • The great news is that most tuition waivers and discounts can be applied to any programs including Affiliate, Exchange and Direct, ISEP, and NSE, as well as NDSU Global Faculty-led and NDSU Global Internships. 
  • Waivers you can only use if you are going on a program where you are paying NDSU tuition (Partner Exchange, ISEP Exchange, NSE Exchange):
    • GRAD Tuition waiver
    • Dependent of NDSU employee wavier

  What if I'm receiving a scholarship that requires I take 15 credits while abroad, such as the ND Academic and the ND Career and Technical Education Scholarship through NDSU?

  • It's important that you let your study abroad advisor know so that you are registered for the right number of credits while abroad. You still need to take enough credits while abroad to meet the requirement as well.
