A full-ride South Dakota scholarship for students entering high-demand technical programmes at the state's four technical colleges: Lake Area Technical College, Mitchell Technical College, Southeast Technical College and Western Dakota Technical College. It covers 100 percent of tuition, fees, books, uniforms, technology and other required programme expenses, and eligible fields include nursing, engineering technology, automotive and agricultural technology. Both in-state and out-of-state students of any age may apply, but applicants must first be admitted to one of the four colleges, and applications are school-specific, so a student applying to more than one college completes a separate application at each. An industry partner affiliation is not required. Recipients maintain a minimum 2.5 GPA and commit to living and working in South Dakota in their field of study for three years after graduation or repaying the award. The next application window runs 1 January to 31 March 2027.
