ND House Bill Would Eliminate Certain Scholarships

(Bismarck, ND) — A North Dakota House bill would eliminate certain scholarship opportunities. The bill would prohibit higher education institutions from providing scholarships for students based on their race, gender identity, or sex. The bill’s sponsor says scholarships that prioritize certain minority groups are biased. The North Dakotas Universities System is pushing back against the bill, saying its passage would cost the state millions in federal funding. The bill remains in committee.
