Each year one student from each active SNDU chapter is eligible to receive a $100 scholarship from the NDU. A check is presented to the chosen SNDU member at the Representative Assembly held in October.
The NDU Foundation awards a $500 scholarship to an outstanding student who is preparing for a career in education. The winner is selected by the Board of Trustees of the Foundation. Application forms must be submitted by March 15 and include:
To be eligible a student must be registered full time in a teacher education program, has maintained at least a 3.0 grade point average and maintains membership in the NEA student program.
To encourage and assist minorities to enter the profession of teaching, one $500 scholarship is awarded annually upon the recommendation of the NDEA's Minority Affairs Commission. The applicant must be a minority undergraduate student in good standing enrolled in a ND teacher education program. The dollar amount will be forwarded to the institution in which the recipient is enrolled to defer the usual expenses for the semester following the award. Applications must be postmarked by March 15 and include a college transcript, one letter of recommendation from a college professor and one personal letter outlining your goals, interests, need, and reasons for pursuing a career in teaching. Application forms are available on the NDEA website www.nea.org.
