TO COLLEGES FOR MOTHERS

SOUTH DAKOTA

back to map	University of South Dakota *Great tuition! Great housing costs! A Childcare Center! Highly recommended for teenage mothers, single mothers, students who are parents! It might be worth it to vote with your feet on this: move to SD, establish residency and then attend college here perhaps without any school loans. Then go to an Ivy League for graduate school, which usually is subsidized with an assistantship which includes tuition waiver at all schools!!!! That was the strategy I took when I went to the inexpensive University of Arkansas------Katherine Arnoldi 414 East Clark Street Vermillion, SD 57069 1-877 COYOTES Admissions phone: 605 677 5434 Financial aid phone: 605 677 5446 web: http://www.usd.edu/admissions email: admissions@usd.edu Tuition: $2,690 fees: $2,707 (2008) MN: $3,803 fees: $2,707 out of state: $7,569 fees: $2,707 undergraduate population: 5,751 Promise Commitment Scholarships: for students with an SAT score of better than 1040: up to $1,000 a year for four years.
