Been looking into University of Delaware, and curious about scholarship opportunities there. Anybody familiar with any merit-based scholarships the university offers? Or any tips on securing them?
The University of Delaware does offer several merit-based scholarships for both in-state and out-of-state students. Here are a few examples:
1. UD Trustee Scholarship: This scholarship is for in-state students and offers $7,000 per year. The scholarship is based on high school GPA.
2. UD Presidential Scholarship: This renewable scholarship is available for out-of-state students. Students can receive between $10,000 and $12,000 per year as long as they maintain a specific GPA in college and meet certain requirements in high school.
3. There are also several department-specific scholarships, particularly in areas such as engineering, business, and the sciences. To optimize your chance of receiving one of these scholarships, it's best to excel in your academics and demonstrate leadership in extracurricular activities.
It's also important to submit your application by the priority deadline, as some scholarships may follow a "first-come, first-served" principle. From what I understand merit-based scholarships typically don't need a separate application, they are awarded based on a thorough review of your application materials. However, always double-check this information on the university's official website.
