South Dakota School of Mines and Technology


Financial Aid and Scholarships


Many college students find it necessary to supplement their personal and family financial resources in order to attend college. The Financial Aid Office will make every effort to develop a financial aid package (some combination of loan, work, grant and scholarship) to help capable, qualified, and in-need students. However, the student should still be prepared to pay for a portion of his or her college costs; and parents of dependent students are expected to assist with the student's cost of education to the extent to which they are able.


Much of the information you'll need to know about financial aid is available here on the website, but feel free to contact the Financial Aid Office if you have questions. We are here to help you through the process.


Not sure how a grant is different from a scholarship, or what work-study might involve? A brief, user-friendly explanation of some of the basic "financial aid vocabulary" is available at The Princeton Review.
