NDCF scholarships

This is a group of awards reached through one application. Each award inside it has its own rules.

Award

Donor scholarships with varying individual amounts; directory marks some below $500 or $300. John D. Weis example lists $1,000-$20,000 depending on applicants and funds, with annual reapplication.

Deadline

Deadlines differ by fund. John D. Weis lists January 1-April 1 without year; this does not establish all funds’ 2027 windows.

How to apply

Apply to each scholarship separately per its page; many use the NDCF scholarship portal (Grant Interface) and some use mailed forms.

Who can apply

Scholarships are organized by college, statewide, county and community criteria, mainly North Dakota with some cross-border school/county funds. Each sets its own residency, level, major, merit, need and required materials.

Good to know

Directory reports over $1 million aggregate awards, not an individual award. Check each fund’s instructions and firm deadline. Do not copy identical answers across different funds. Weis example supports students who lost a legal parent/guardian, including ND school/home/GED graduates or current accredited college/trade students.
