South Dakota creates a new scholarship program for non-Native American students attending one of four tribal colleges in the state (Oglala Lakota College, Sinte Gleska University, Sitting Bull College, or Sisseton-Wahpeton Community College), administered by the Department of Tribal Relations. Eligible students must be South Dakota residents and can receive scholarships for up to four consecutive semesters or until earning a bachelor's degree, whichever comes first.
This bill does not directly amend codified state law.
