- Good to know
- The specific Honors College page explicitly says up to $25,000 per year for up to four years. General admission summary wording is less precise, not a contrary aggregate cap. FAFSA is not required and loans are excluded. NDSU/state scholarships and grants, and federal gift aid where awarded, apply first; Honors funds fill the eligible gap to the annual package ceiling. External scholarships do not reduce the Honors calculation. Renew full-time with 3.0 GPA, passing honors courses and program participation for eight semesters or graduation. First two years require Pavek Hall residence; eligible campus housing and meals can continue in years three and four.
