Directory / North Dakota Community Foundation Scholarships
North Dakota Community Foundation Scholarships
The North Dakota Community Foundation publishes geographically organized scholarship information for North Dakota students, with some fund-specific exceptions outside the state. Listings distinguish college, statewide, county and community opportunities. Students must review each program separately because fields, schools, circumstances and application routes differ. The page also includes a public privacy statement.
Best for: North Dakota students looking for scholarships connected to their college, county or community and willing to read each fund’s individual requirements.
Limitation: Deadlines may be out of date because fund pages show no year, and each fund sets its own rules.
Regional community foundation for North Dakota. Pair with your state aid office. Bring transcript, residency, and essay materials before the portal opens.

How we rate
Matching Power
How well it helps you find the scholarships it lists, by filtering on location, need, merit, major, college and high school.
A 5 means you can narrow the list by where you live, need, merit, major, college or high school, and a big site brings the best fits to the top. A 1 means little or no way to narrow, and in the middle some filters work but many results still do not fit.
Scholarship Quality
How complete, current and traceable its scholarship listings are.
A 5 means nearly every listing is current, links to the real sponsor and gives enough detail to act on. A 1 means most are out of date, incomplete or do not lead to the sponsor, and in the middle you will need to double check a fair share.
Ease of Use
How easily you can understand the controls and reach actionable scholarship information.
A 5 means clear controls and a quick path from the list to a scholarship and its sponsor, including on a phone. A 1 means walls, confusing steps or a broken phone view keep getting in the way, and the middle is workable with some tradeoffs.
Privacy & Marketing
What data it asks for, how much advertising or sign-up pressure gets in the way, and how much control you have.
A 5 means the site asks only for what it needs, says why, keeps ads and partner offers out of the way and leaves you in control. A 1 means heavy data requests, sign-up pressure, loan offers or sweepstakes get in the way, and the middle has some of that pressure but it stays manageable.
Our ratings are our opinion of each site, not an endorsement or a prediction that you'll win.
