North Dakota Governor’s Schools is a six-week residential program for scholastically motivated North Dakota high school sophomores and juniors. Students live, work and have fun on NDSU’s campus. Governor’s Schools offer high-quality, concentrated instruction from NDSU faculty through experiences, discussion groups, labs, field trips and other activities. It’s an invaluable pre-college experience.
Typical Governor’s Schools assignments include conducting research, reading, journaling, oral and poster presentations and collaborative projects. Evenings and weekends are reserved for recreational and fine arts activities. There is a midsession break over the July 4 holiday.
Governor’s Schools students live in NDSU residence halls and eat in campus dining facilities. They are responsible for expenses such as laundry and snacks and must provide their own transportation to and from Fargo.
The state of North Dakota funds the cost of participation for North Dakota students who are accepted into the program. If spaces are available, out-of-state students may apply to the program, but are required to pay tuition.
