Opportunities for Impact
One-Time Scholarship
$1,500+
UND is regarded as one of the top institutions in the nation for educational quality and affordability. However, the average student will pay $11,250 in tuition costs each year. One-time scholarships help to ease that financial burden.
Merit-Based Scholarships
$14,000+
We have the most diverse and academically prepared student body in UND’s 138-year history. Merit-based scholarships help our University retain these high-caliber students. In fact, 83% of students who receive a merit-based scholarship return for their second year.
Named Endowment
$25,000+
Endowments can be created with gifts of cash, securities, and other assets. Although the minimum amount required to create an endowment fund is $25,000, larger amounts are recommended or required for certain purposes. Gifts at these levels may offer donors naming opportunities.
