RAPID CITY, S.D. (KOTA) – After enrollment at South Dakota’s six public universities dropped through the COVID pandemic, the South Dakota Freedom Scholarship was put collectively to encourage college students of all financial backgrounds to dwell, work, and examine in South Dakota after commencement.
Whereas it’s thought of a public scholarship there may be a side that deems it a non-public scholarship as effectively.
“The explanation why it’s a non-public pupil mortgage is that when you don’t observe together with the necessities you then do must pay it again .… and so that’s the pupil mortgage side of what all of that is,” mentioned Freedom Scholarship coordinator Elli Haerter.
In response to Haerter, over a thousand college students have already accomplished the paperwork to obtain the scholarship and they’re hoping extra apply.
Two components that go into how a lot funding the scholars obtain are their revenue standing and the way a lot the college decides to present the scholar.
For extra info on the scholarship, you’ll be able to go to the Freedom Scholarship web site or it’s also possible to get in contact together with your college’s monetary division.
