Workforce safety and insurance scholarship fund - Application criteria - Refund

An applicant for a workers' compensation scholarship offered under North Dakota Century Code section 65-05-20.1 must complete the application form required by the organization. The form, at a minimum, must require the applicant provide: 1. Name, address, date of birth, sex, social security number; 2. Educational history, including transcripts if requested; 3. Proof of association to the organizational claim leading to the application; 4. Access to receive information regarding other financial aid or assistance; and 5. Any other information the organization requires to administer this program. The scholarship committee will use the information on the application form to determine which applicants receive the scholarship and may require an applicant to submit additional supporting information. The minimum required grade point average is a two point zero on a four point zero scale, or its equivalent. The organization may award individual scholarships in any amount up to the maximum amounts provided in North Dakota Century Code section 65-05-20.1. Applicants who are awarded the scholarship one year must reapply to receive the scholarship in a subsequent year. If the amount awarded to the applicant is greater than the amount owed the institution over the course of the school year, the excess award must be refunded to the organization. If the applicant who is awarded a scholarship withdraws from the institution and there are scholarship funds to be refunded, the institution shall refund those funds to the organization according to the refund priorities of the institution.
