How Can the ND Scholarship & Loan Repayment Program Work for You?
The ND Career Builders program provides matching funds to help North Dakota businesses recruit employees and keep our talent in North Dakota. We are seeking businesses to participate and invest in this unique partnership!
A tool for businesses to recruit and retain talent in high-need occupations in ND, this innovative partnership provides $1 of state funds for each $1 of private-sector matching funds, up to a total of $17,000 per recipient! Individuals can receive a scholarship on the front end, loan repayment on the back-end, or both, for their commitment to the state to fill one of the high-demand occupations. It is a win-win for businesses, students, employees, and the state!
Be part of the solution to keep talent in ND.

WHY ARE PRIVATE-SECTOR DOLLARS NEEDED? The ND Career Builders Program is a partnership between business and the state. The ND University System (NDUS) cannot issue payment without private-sector dollars being received. The impact of this program is great as scholarship or loan repayment dollars issued by businesses are doubled using the ND Career Builder program. It is a win-win for business, students and employees!
