Northern's Dual Credit Scholarship
How Northern's Dual Credit Scholarship works:
- There’s no need to apply! Any new freshman who took Northern HSDC courses in high school will automatically receive the scholarship when they enroll at Northern State University as a full-time, degree seeking student.
- Students who took one to eight credits receive $500 ($250/year for two years).
- Students who took nine or more credits will receive $1,000 ($500/year for two years).
- Students must maintain a 3.0 GPA as an undergraduate student to continue receiving the scholarship.
- Credits must be successfully completed (a grade of “C” or higher) to be included in the student’s total NSU credit count.
- Even better: This scholarship can be awarded on top of the WolfPACT, the largest guaranteed scholarship in the region!
