Delta College is accepting scholarship applications from future and current students for the 2026-2027 academic year.
Hundreds of scholarships are awarded annually through the Delta College Foundation, made possible by the generosity of donors. Last year, $1,107,500 was awarded to 948 students—83% of all applicants! The deadline to apply is February 4, 2026. Award notifications will be sent to recipients in April 2026.
The best part about receiving a scholarship is that it’s a gift, so students don’t have to pay it back. At Delta, we firmly believe that college should be an attainable dream for everyone in our community. The Delta College Foundation is here to help minimize the financial barrier many students face. Scholarships can help with the cost of tuition, books, fees and other expenses.
Joshua Gorm received the Ruth Mast-Fox scholarship for the 2025-2026 academic year. “It’s an amazing scholarship and something I wasn't expecting,” said Gorm. “It really helps out and covers all my student supplies. So that was very nice and surprising that I got it.”
The scholarship application includes short essays, which are scored anonymously by scholarship raters. The judging criteria is based on content, word count, spelling and grammar.
Any individuals considering attending Delta College for Fall 2026 or Winter 2027 are encouraged to apply for a scholarship. Applicants must have an active Delta student account. All awarded scholarships must be used while at Delta College (with the exception of the Nickless Family Transfer Scholarship) and may not be transferred to another college or university.
