Academic Scholarships

Rewarding academic excellence and personal leadership is a tradition in our department. The Agricultural and Biosystems Engineering Department expects to award $30,000 in scholarships in the coming school year. Freshman scholarships for new students are accepted through out the year. The scholarship committee begins in January to award scholarships to incoming students for the following Fall semester. The department committee continues to award scholarships through out the Spring until the funds are depleted.

The typical departmental scholarship size is between $500 and $1000. The University also has a substantial scholarship program. Students are encouraged to apply for University scholarships also. It is possible to receive a scholarship from both the Agricultural and Biosystems Engineering Department and South Dakota State University. Scholarships are also available for Sophomores, Juniors and Seniors.

The application deadline for submitting an upperclassman scholarship application to the department is the Friday before Spring Break.
