NHSC Updates Campus Library, Student Services
New Town, ND -- Nueta Hidatsa Sahnish College has updated its community library and moved all student services together in one convenient location.
Used by students and members of the Fort Berthold Reservation community, the Singing Spring Library is home to the MHA Nation special collections, which include cultural materials and books. Admissions, registrar, financial aid, MHA Pathways and the vice president’s office now are co-located in the former women’s dorm.
“When the COVID-19 pandemic caused closure of our campus, we used the time to make some much needed updates,” said Constance King-Gottschall, Ed.D., vice president of Student Services. “We recently held an open house so students and the community could tour the renovated spaces. These enhancements are another example of NHSC’s commitment to being a valuable resource for our community and to providing the best possible learning environment for our students.”
NHSC enhances the quality of life and builds a strong, positive identity for the Mandan, Hidatsa and Arikara Nations or Three Affiliated Tribes. NHSC offers in-demand certificate programs and associate degrees as well as three bachelor’s degrees. The college offers high-quality cultural, academic and vocational education. NHSC provides encouragement and support to facilitate successful college careers.

NHSC Responds to Impact of the Pandemic by Forgiving Student Debt
New Town, ND – To assist students still recovering from the impacts of the Covid-19 pandemic, Nueta Hidatsa Sahnish College (NHSC) has forgiven outstanding student debt, allowing students to begin the 2021-22 academic year free from previous tuition-related obligations.
“Our students have faced considerable personal losses as a result of the pandemic,” said Dr. Twyla Baker, NHSC president. “They’ve had the added pressures of illness, homeschooling their children and many other hurdles. They have been challenged in so many ways, and we are thankful we can use Covid relief funding to help them begin anew.”
NHSC does not provide student loans. College costs are financed through Federal Pell Grants and other grants and scholarships. The college offers payment plans for student debt but has opted to forgive more than $200,000 in outstanding debt in advance of the upcoming school year.
