The Academic & Cultural Sharing Scholarship at North Dakota State University offers international undergraduate students the chance to pay only 50% of the non-resident tuition rate, which is currently a savings of about $8,700 per year. This scholarship is available to all international undergraduates who qualify for admission at North Dakota State University, hold F-1 student status, and continue to uphold the necessary academic requirements and service requirements.
Recipients of the scholarship are expected to share their cultures with U.S. students, faculty, staff and members of the community in activities that are both academically and culturally beneficial. This will enable people in the community to increase their knowledge of the scholarship recipients' home countries and cultures. Scholarship pplications for the 2012-13 academic year should be submitted along with the general application for admission.
