Delaware SEED Scholarship Program
Graduating high school students in the state of Delaware in
need of extra funds for college can apply for the Student
Excellence Equals Degree (SEED) scholarship program. The
scholarship offers assistance to full time college students
enrolled in the Associate of Arts program at the University
of Delaware or an associate’s degree program at Delaware
Technical and Community College.
To qualify, students must maintain a 2.5 grade point average
and have no felony convictions. Students must also be
graduating from a Delaware high school and enroll in college
by the fall semester.
The first step in applying for a SEED scholarship is to
complete the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA).
You also need to apply for admission to DTCC or UD,
depending on where you plan to go to school.
By filling out the FAFSA, the state can determine if a
student is eligible for the scholarship. At that time, the
student’s financial needs will also be reviewed to determine
if he or she qualifies for a state or federal grant. Student
loans will also be extended for those who qualify.
Private
Student Loans
Students who exhaust their scholarship and U.S. Department
of Education student aid options can also turn to outside
lenders for a private student loan.
