The 69th North Dakota Legislative Assembly renewed an amazing program to spur philanthropic giving to North Dakota state universities and enhance academic excellence. The North Dakota Higher Education Challenge Fund is providing a 50% match for contributions given to academic scholarships through the Mayville State University Foundation between July 1, 2025, and December 31, 2026. A total of $1.32 million will be available in matching funds. Not only did the legislators renew the funding for this biennium, but they also increased the amount that is allotted to Mayville State by $220,000 over the last biennium.
For years, navigating student services at Mayville State University has felt like a maze. Prospective and current students have bounced from one office to another across campus, tackling everything from recruitment, admissions, enrollment, advising, and financial aid. The process wasn’t always efficient, and students sometimes got lost or became frustrated along the way.
Signs of summer are everywhere on the Mayville State campus! This week we’ve hosted two New Comet Registration Days for students who will be joining us at Mayville State for the first time in the fall, and another is planned for June 9. It’s great fun to meet the newest Comets and their families as we pull out all the stops to introduce them to life as Mayville State students. As the name of the event implies, one of the most important things that happens during these events is getting students together with academic advisors who help them get registered for classes.
Mayville State was extremely fortunate to be granted $52,254,901 in state funding for the renovation of Old Main during the legislative session in 2023. The first round of funding ($17,330,087) was received in the 2023-25 biennium. We are grateful to the 69th Legislative Assembly for approving the balance of the appropriated funding ($34,924,814) during the 2025 session.
