Graduate School

How will enrolling in a graduate program affect my Dakota Corps Scholarship award and/or obligation? 

Graduate School following Undergraduate Degree

If a student decides to enroll in a Graduate program either immediately after their undergraduate degree or while completing their employment obligation, they may be able to defer their obligation to the scholarship.   Students must remain enrolled at least part time and provide documentation verifying this enrollment to maintain their deferment.   

Graduate Course Work - while eligible for Dakota Corps Funding

If a student, in their final year or two of their undergraduate program, decide to enroll in additional Graduate or Masters degree coursework - this is allowable.  The funding amount will not be calculated with reference to the graduate tuition costs, but a student can apply the standard scholarship amount to the cost of this coursework and other expenses.
