Why does a recipient complete a Status/Verification for Dakota Corps Scholarship?

Recipients are required annually to complete a status and verification report.  This can be completed through the following form: Status/Verification. 

The Dakota Corps Commitment

Each recipient promises, in writing, to enter a Critical Need Occupation in South Dakota following completion of the program of study.  The number of years a recipient must work in a critical need occupation to fulfill the entire obligation is equal to the sum of the number of years of scholarship received, plus one year.  For example, a four-year scholarship recipient must work five years; a three-year scholarship recipient must work four years; a two-year scholarship recipient must work three years, etc.

If the recipient does not complete his/her commitment, the scholarship converts to a low interest loan which must be repaid.
