Money is an important factor for many people to decide whether to attend college or to jump right into the workforce. These days the cost of college tuition is climbing higher and higher, and also the financial stress has been increasing which ultimately forces many students to work long hours or even drop out of school. That is why there is an end number of college scholarships and grants for students to help them pay for their education.
The average tuition & fees are $7,395 for in-state and $11,924 for out-of-state students in South Dakota. Thus, sometimes this amount can be unaffordable for many students who did brilliantly in their academics. There is a wide variety in the state scholarships South Dakota offers, so whether you qualify as a veteran or a Native American or a high-school senior committed to a field of study, the South Dakota Board of Regents will ensure you are well taken care of in terms of grant funding. If you apply on-time and ensure your application is complete, accurate, and high quality, you are on your way to receiving college scholarships for your graduate or post-graduate education and thus, one step closer to that dream career you have in mind.
You must be a citizen of a U.S. or a resident who intends to become a permanent resident of the United States.
You must be a South Dakota resident.
You must be a graduating high school student during the current academic year, or a GED or home-schooled graduate, or a first-time college freshman, undergraduate, or graduate student.
