COHORT 11: BUILD DAKOTA SCHOLARSHIP 2025-2026 SCHOLARSHIP RECIPIENTS

South Dakota – The Build Dakota Scholarship Program is proud to recognize 630 scholarship recipients for the upcoming school year.

These students from all over the state will train for high-needs fields at one of South Dakota’s four technical colleges. The scholarship covers all tuition and program expenses as the student commits to working in-state, in their chosen field, for three years after graduation.

“This scholarship is a once in a lifetime opportunity for so many students,” said Deni Martin, Program Director of the Build Dakota Scholarship.

“For more than a decade, we’ve worked alongside the four technical colleges – and with countless industry partners – to offer millions of dollars in scholarships. It’s neat to zoom out and think of the big picture effect we’re having on the workforce. But it’s also important to remember that for each and every person on this list, the Build Dakota Scholarship is a life-changing path to an impactful career.”
