UND Student Financial Aid
The Student Financial Aid Office assists students and their families in meeting the costs of higher education by providing students with financial assistance and by providing families with access to options and information on financial planning to help students achieve their educational goals.
What Money Is Available to Help Pay My Expenses?
Financial aid is intended to supplement the financial contributions from the student and family. Students are offered financial assistance in various forms, including scholarships, grants, employment and loan programs. View a complete listing of detailed financial aid offerings.
Grants, Employment & Loans
UND participates in numerous state and federal financial aid programs including, ND State Grant, Federal Pell Grant, Federal TEACH Grant, Federal Supplemental Educational Opportunity Grant (SEOG), Federal Work-Study (FWS), Federal Perkins Loan, Federal Direct Loans, and Federal Direct PLUS and Grad PLUS Loans. More information on these and other financial aid programs is available through the Financial Aid Office.
Employment opportunities that are not based on financial need are also available to students. Job listings for both Institutional (INST) and Federal Work-Study (FWS) are posted at www.und.edu/employment.
Jobs are available in a wide variety of settings across campus.
How Do I Apply for Financial Aid?
The Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) is the only application required for all federal and state financial aid at the University of North Dakota. The FAFSA provides a standardized method of determining eligibility for financial assistance. The amount of financial need is the difference between the amount the federal government expects you and your family to contribute to your education and the cost of attending UND.
Apply early! Complete the FAFSA as soon after January 1 as possible. The priority date for state and federal financial aid programs is March 15, 2011 for the 2011-12 academic year.
Cultural Diversity Tuition Waiver and Other Scholarship Programs
The University of North Dakota has been authorized to award several tuition waivers to broaden the cultural diversity on campus. Visit the Student Financial Aid website for more details regarding the Cultural Diversity Tuition Waiver and other scholarship programs.
Priority consideration will be given to Cultural Diversity Tuition Waiver applications received by April 15, 2011.
