Jackrabbit Guarantee Scholarship

South Dakota State University not only offers a great value, we offer both outstanding academic and extracurricular opportunities as well. SDSU is ranked by US News and World Report as one of the best universities in the nation. In addition, the Carnegie Foundation has ranked SDSU as the number one research institution in the state. There is no denying the fact that college is an investment. The return you get back from it is invaluable – especially at SDSU.

That said, funding one's education can be a challenge, particularly for international students! SDSU is proud to be able to say that we make our educational opportunities affordable. This is done by giving all students coming from outside of South Dakota's borders an affordable "Non-resident Tuition Rate" that beats many surrounding states' in-state tuition costs.

SDSU offers the Jackrabbit Guarantee Scholarship

The Jackrabbit Guarantee Scholarship is open to all first time freshman undergraduate applicants who will attend the Brookings main campus. 

This is ONLY for undergraduate students graduating from secondary school the previous academic year. You do not need to apply and awards will be listed on your I-20.

Please note: ACT or SAT scores are not required for determining international students' admission status; HOWEVER, if you wish to apply for scholarships, and ACT or SAT score is required.
