Apply for Scholarships


Since 1986, the Delaware Community Foundation has been connecting people who care with the causes they care about by helping them establish charitable funds and provide grants to the nonprofit organizations they wish to support. Many of our donors who care about education choose to create scholarship funds to provide opportunities for individuals, like you, to help with rising college costs. Last year the Foundation supported local students by awarding over 250 scholarships ranging from $300 to $3,500 for a total of nearly $300,000.

 

The DCF is pleased to announce that students now have the option to apply for any scholarship with the Foundation that he/she may be eligible for by completing just one application. We will screen each individual's credentials, determine his or her eligibility for scholarships and automatically submit the student for other possible awards. Those determined to be eligible may be given multiple scholarships and there is no cap on the number or amount of the awards they receive.

 

You’ll find a complete alphabetical listing of the scholarships we have available in the Scholarship Guidelines & Applications section of our website. You may also download our Delaware Community Foundation Scholarship Compendium, Scholarships Awarded Fall 2010. In this guide, you’ll find the criteria and information about each award. You'll find copies of the various applications in the back of the compendium. The submission deadline for most of our scholarships is April 1, 2010. 

 

Our goal is to connect people who care about education with people like you who care about their future. Please carefully review our Compendium; we believe it will be time well spent. If you have any questions about scholarship opportunities with the Delaware Community Foundation, please feel free to contact Richard Gentsch, Executive Vice President by calling 302.571.8004 or email rgentsch@delcf.org.
