Description

The Dian and Harlan Stai Honors Access Scholarship will be awarded to outstanding high school seniors from South Dakota, Minnesota, and Iowa each year based on ACT/SAT scores or GPA and extracurricular activities. This scholarship is renewable for four years. Students are chosen for Stai Honors through a competitive interview selection process. Students selected to interview must have extensive leadership and extracurricular involvement. Applicants must also submit the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) and qualify as Pell Grant Eligible. Stai Honors Access recipients will be required to participate in the Van D. and Barbara B. Fishback Honors College. The invitation to interview for this competitive scholarship will be sent via the mail to students by December 31. The on-campus interviews take place in late January. Please visit the scholarship's website or contact the Office of Financial Aid for more information.
