Student Services

Special Needs

If a student has special learning needs or other circumstances that might affect his or her ability to successfully complete a course, please inform the ND CDE principal at 701-231-6008. Such information will help ND CDE better serve the student. If there is an IEP in place, or if the student is receiving special services in the local school, it would be helpful for ND CDE to be aware of this information. Any information provided about a student will be kept confidential. ND CDE also enlarges Study Guides and will order large-print textbooks for visually impaired students upon request.

Scholarships

Two scholarships are available through ND CDE. One honors Dr. T.W. Thordarson, founder and first director of our program, and is based on financial need. The Valentina Popel Memorial Scholarship is based on prior academic achievement. Mrs. Popel taught French, German, and Russian at ND CDE for 35 years.

Those interested in applying for a scholarship may request application forms by writing to the Scholarship Team, ND Center for Distance Education, Box 5036, Fargo, North Dakota 58105-5036.

The application and recommendations form can be found here.
