The University will be presenting 20 Full-Tuition Scholarships to new entering freshmen next fall. The awards cover the cost of tuition for the first year and are renewable for three additional years as long as the recipient maintains certain academic standards and makes normal progress toward a degree. To qualify, students must rank in the top 10 percent of their graduating class and have scored a 28 or higher on the ACT examination.
Applicants can be from any geographic region, but preference is given to Minnesota residents.
After February 1, a campus-wide committee reviews each application and selects the recipients. Full-Tuition Scholarships, which have helped more than 115 high school graduates pursue professional goals at BSU since first offered in 1994, are part of a comprehensive scholarship program maintained by Bemidji State. These funds are provided by donations to the BSU Foundation and the Alumni Association or through auxiliary income sources.
