Applying for the Scholarship
How do I apply for the SD Opportunity Scholarship?
Students can apply for the SD Opportunity Scholarship by logging in to the SD Board of Regents Scholarship Portal using the appropriate log-in. Once they have logged in to the portal, if available, the SD Opportunity Scholarship application will be listed on the home screen. Students can click the application link and complete the application.
The SD Opportunity Scholarship Application contains mostly contact information and basic high school and academic information – most of which will be verified by the students High School Transcript. Because student transcripts are sent to the individual campuses as part of the admissions process, students do not need to have an additional transcript sent to the campus as part of the SD Opportunity Scholarship Application process. They will, instead, include their transcript contact person from their high school that can be contacted should there be any questions regarding the student’s transcript.
