    The Dakota Corps Scholarship Program was created by Governor Rounds to encourage South Dakota’s high school graduates to: obtain their postsecondary education in South Dakota; remain in the state upon completion of their education; and contribute to the state of South Dakota and its citizens by working in a critical need occupation. The intent of the program is that the recipients do not pay anything towards tuition and generally applicable fees. Remaining tuition and generally-applicable fees must be covered by the participating college through institutional scholarship or tuition waiver.
