Starting your scholarship search can be overwhelming, so it might help to narrow your search. The State of South Dakota offers several scholarships that are available to South Dakota residents who choose to study in-state.

The South Dakota Opportunity Scholarship is awarded to students who meet certain curriculum requirements and receive a certain score on the ACT. Eligible students receive $5,000 over four years. The Dakota Corps provides funds to students who agree to work in high-needs fields. The Davis Bahcall doesn't offer funds for college but provides an expense-paid, hands-on learning experience in a specific content area.
