Funding Your Education

A Delta College education is an exceptional value. Even so, paying for college can sometimes be a challenge. The Financial Aid and Student Finance offices work together to provide valuable assistance to help you finance this investment in your future. In addition to our low tuition rates, we offer a wide range of Federal, State and institutional financial aid programs, awarding over $18,000,000 in aid annually. Also, a convenient, interest-free payment plan is available, allowing students to spread the cost of their tuition and fees over multiple payments.  

The Financial Aid Office can help you learn your financial options and provides access to resources in a fair, compassionate manner. We provide guidance in completing the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA), determining how much and what types of assistance are available to you and applying aid to your student account.

The Student Finance Office provides assistance processing your Sponsor Funding and Federal Stafford loans, administering the interest-free tuition payment plan and authorizing the use of financial aid in the bookstore. We also issue all financial aid refund checks, as well as annual IRS 1098-T forms to assist you in claiming your tuition as a tax deduction.
