Dakota School of Banking First-Year Application

Scholarship Information and Guidelines


Held on the campus of Jamestown College in Jamestown, North Dakota, the Dakota School of Banking provides a focused education of the banking industry. Bankers at all levels benefit from the well-rounded curriculum that builds on fundamental skills and focuses on emerging trends. Students enroll for two years, attending one week each summer.

Classes are held in a $4.5 million facility that features state-of-the-art classrooms and computer labs. The first-year session provides students with a general overview of the banking industry and banking departments. The second-year session builds on this general banking knowledge and adds a computerized bank management simulation.

Attendees are generally first- or mid-level managers seeking advancement in their banks and careers. However, others who would benefit from exposure to the banking industry and increased familiarity with the individual components that make up a bank are also encouraged to attend.
