The North Dakota Education Reserve Fund Amendment did not make the November 2012 ballot in North Dakota as a legislatively referred constitutional amendment.
The measure would have reserved earnings from the state's "foundation aid stabilization fund" for annual scholarships for top students who attended North Dakota colleges. Specifically, the scholarships would go to students who had scores of 24 or better on the ACT college entrance exam.[1]

The measure passed with 75% of voters in favor.
