Scholarship Review Process

The Scholarships360 Research Team reviews all scholarships individually and strives to exclude any scholarship where any of the below applies:

  • The scholarship requires a fee to apply
  • The scholarship provider’s privacy policy allows for the misuse of student data
  • The scholarship requires paid membership in an organization (with certain exceptions for reputable trade organizations and others)
  • Student are required to sign up for a site or service to apply*
  • The scholarship seems primarily used for lead generation** or idea harvesting purposes***
  • The scholarship website has many grammatical errors and/or advertisements
  • The scholarship or scholarship providing organization seem untrustworthy
  • There is no evidence the scholarship was previously awarded
  • The scholarship has not been awarded in the past 12 months
  • There is no available contact information

If you believe a scholarship has been published in error, please reach out to [email protected] and we’ll take a look!


* There are certain exceptions to this, for example if the sponsoring organization is a major corporation or nonprofit with its own scholarship application system.
** Lead generation scholarships will require students to sign up for an app or website and require minimal (if any) application requirements.
***Idea harvesting scholarships will require students to submit blog posts or other materials that companies may use for marketing purposes.

Delaware might be known as one of the smallest states, but when it comes to finding Delaware scholarships, it is boundless! The “first state” offers something for students at every level of study. The following list has something for all scholarship seekers, so keep reading to find a match or two!

How to win Delaware scholarships

To win Delaware scholarships, it is important to understand the state’s unique qualities and how they can work to your advantage to win Delaware scholarships. Delaware is known for its thriving business and finance sectors, which means there are many scholarships available for students pursuing degrees in business and finance fields. Delaware is also home to many non-profit organizations that offer scholarships to students who are committed to making a positive impact within their communities. 

Students may also want to look into scholarships related to Delaware’s rich East Coast history, such as scholarships for students studying American history or the history of the Delaware Valley. Delaware’s proximity to major metropolitan areas such as New York City and Philadelphia also make it an ideal location for students interested in pursuing a career in urban planning or transportation. Do your research so you can add the little details that will make your application stand out!

Scholarship application resources for Delaware students

Lots of scholarship applications require essays, so prepare yourself before you start writing! Learn how to  write an authentic essay about yourself as well as how to write a 250 word essay, how to write a 500 word essay and how to write a winning scholarship essay.

By researching the unique qualities of Delaware that make it a small but mighty state, students can increase their chances of finding scholarships that align with their interests and goals which can increase their chances of winning these Delaware scholarships! 

Delaware student debt snapshot

According to the Department of Education, Delaware residents owe $4.8 billion in federal student loan debt, with student borrowers owing $37,559 on average (not including private loans). Over 53.1% of loan borrowers are under the age of 35. As you are starting your higher education journey, remember that scholarships allow students to take less loans. Make sure that you apply to as many as you qualify for!

Merit scholarships at Delaware colleges and universities

  • Eligibility: Residents of Delaware who are high school seniors and applying as first-years at University of Delaware. Must maintain a 3.0 GPA and take at least 12 credit hours per semester as well as complete the FAFSA
  • Amount: $1,000 to $6,000 per year
  • Deadline: Considered upon acceptance to University of Delaware

Delaware State University

Wilmington University

  • Eligibility: Must be a student at or have been accepted to Wilmington University. Must have a 2.5+ GPA.
  • Amount: Varies up to full cost of tuition
  • Deadline: May 15 and November 1 

Consider in-state tuition and tuition reciprocity

In-state tuition costs in Delaware can be significantly lower than the out-of-state tuition rate. Therefore, it is an extremely attractive option for students looking to save money on their education to pay in-state tuition costs. 

Here are a few well-known Delaware universities and their in-state vs out-of-state tuition costs: 

University of Delaware

  • In-state tuition: $6,685
  • Out-of-state tuition: $17,945

Delaware State University

  • In-state tuition: $7,038
  • Out-of-state tuition: $16,960

Wondering how to become a Delaware resident to take advantage of in-state tuition? In order to establish residency in Delaware for tuition purposes, students must demonstrate that they have lived in Delaware for at least one year prior to enrollment in a university. This can include providing documentation such as a Delaware driver’s license, voter registration, or lease agreement. Additionally, students must demonstrate that they have the intent to remain in Delaware after graduation. However, residency requirements vary depending on the college, so students should check with their school’s admissions office for specific requirements to receive in-state tuition as a Delaware resident. 

Delaware is not a member of any tuition reciprocity agreements. However, Delaware does participate in the Regional Contract Program with neighboring states, including Maryland, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, and Virginia. This contract allows students pursuing professional health degrees from these states to attend the University of Delaware at in-state tuition rates.
