The NDMU Promise
The Promise Program is a financial aid program that provides University funding to students who have a financial need after completing the FAFSA. The program seeks to bridge the gap between the grants provided by state and federal governments and NDMU’s tuition and fees. We anticipate that 2024-2025 admitted students with a FAFSA SAI of $0 will receive a grant package equal to their full tuition & fees. Unlike a loan, the student will not have to pay this money back.
Incoming residential students that are awarded the State’s Guaranteed Access Grant (i.e. have a family income of 130% or less of the federal poverty level) are guaranteed via NDMU’s Promise Program to be awarded a combined grant package equivalent to tuition, fees, and room & board.
To be considered for the program, students must file their FAFSA as soon as possible.
