Dakota State University students walking around campus

Preparation + opportunity = success

That's the DSU equation. We're a four-year university with nationally recognized programs, cutting-edge facilities, and the brightest thinkers. But we're also a tight-knit, inclusive community. Small class sizes mean hands-on training and individualized attention. All this with an affordable, public school price that's among the best values in the region.

Scholarship Committee Charter

I. COMMITTEE MISSION

To ensure equity and fairness in the distribution of DSU scholarship funds, a campus-based scholarship committee will be appointed to oversee the awarding process. The committee will primarily assist in awarding of endowed and annual scholarships that fall outside of the DSU Champion Scholarship program, but may serve in an advisory role related to criteria and awarding of the Champion Scholarship program. Specific responsibilities of the committee will include the following:

  1. Assist in the selection of recipients of specific awards not qualifying as a DSU Champion Award

  2. Review DSU Champion Scholarship recipient selection (New and Transfer) and assist in matching to DSU Endowed and Annual Scholarship criteria used to fund the Champion Scholarships.

Information and recommendations of applicants qualifying for Champions and other named scholarships will be provided to the committee from applications submitted and/or student database information.

Exception – The committee will not review applicant information for annual scholarships where the outside organization determines the recipient, athletic scholarships where coaches determine expenditures within their sport area, or other scholarships where the recognition is not linked to a general scholarship committee making a selection but is awarded as a DSU named scholarship.
