Scholarship Opportunities

Scholarships are based on how well students answer two essay questions. To qualify for some scholarships, students must complete the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA), which may be found online at www.fafsa.gov (Delta College school code is 002251). If students do not qualify for other forms of financial aid, such as the Federal Pell Grant, they are still eligible for Delta College scholarships.

Scholarships are based on how well students answer two essay questions. The online scholarship software -- STARS -- will determine which scholarships students are eligible to receive. You do not have demonstrate financial need to receive a scholarship. However, some scholarships are based on financial need, and for those scholarships, you must complete the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA), which may be found online at www.fafsa.gov (Delta College school code is 002251). It is highly recommend that students always apply for FAFSA.
