Women’s Opportunity Scholarship

NDDSVC’s Women’s Opportunity Scholarship provides higher education opportunities to low-income women who wish to enter, or are currently attending, a North Dakota college, university, or trade school. The fund helps scholarship recipients break the bonds of poverty and enhance their lives and the lives of their families intellectually, culturally, and environmentally.

To be eligible for the scholarship, applicants must:

• Be low income according to federal poverty guidelines
• Be current residents of North Dakota
• Plan to attend a North Dakota college, university, or trade school (certain exceptions may be made for those living on North Dakota borders).

Applications are accepted every March 29th through June 15th. Awards are announced in mid-August.

I am grateful for this scholarship because this has helped with costs such as my books.
Scholarships like this make the school year a little less stressful for my family and I. Thank
you so much!
