The North Dakota College Access Network (NDCAN) has teamed up with College Information Service (CIS) to provide you with important resources, tools, links, and other information that will make your jump to higher education easier. CIS is a collection of information provided by Student Loans of North Dakota. CIS has been a resource to parents, students, counselors, and financial aid administrators at North Dakota’s public, private, and tribal schools since 1993. NDCAN and CIS are proud to pool its resources in order to give you a cohesive and simple plan to navigate the challenges of accessing college and learn more about your options.
The North Dakota College Access Challenge Grant which funds NDCAN is provided by the U.S. Department of Education and administered by the North Dakota University System (NDUS). Bridges Guidance Central, a software program provided by Bank of North Dakota, Student Loans of North Dakota, and College SAVE, serves as the soft match for the grant. The software is provided to all public and private middle schools and high schools, and allows for career exploration, education planning and ACT test preparation.
