North Dakota students face new scholarship rules

North Dakota scholarship applicants must complete requirements in two pathways while enrolled in grades 9–12. An academic-pathway test requirement accepts a state test score the state superintendent finds as rigorous as an ACT composite of 24. The law removes one ACT English-and-math score option from the career and technical education pathway. The military pathway adds an option to complete two course units in any mix from five courses: Introduction to Military Careers; ASVAB Essentials: Skills for Military Success; Military Health and Fitness; Career Foundations in Military Leadership; and Military Leadership Capstone. These changes affect who qualifies for college aid; this section does not set scholarship amounts.
