SEED Scholarships

How to Apply

The University of Delaware does not use a separate application for SEED Scholarships.  Here are the steps to follow:
  1. Apply to the University of Delaware by January 15.
  2. File the FAFSA (Free Application for Federal Student Aid) or, if the student is not eligible to file a FAFSA, the UD Financial Aid Form. The recommended filing date is February 1 and the final filing deadline is March 15.
    • On the FAFSA, list the University of Delaware as a school that should receive your FAFSA information. The UD school code is 001431.
  3. All students who are admitted to the UD Associate in Arts Program and who file a FAFSA will be automatically screened for eligibility for SEED.  There is no other paperwork to complete.
  4. Students can expect to receive offers of admission to the Associate in Arts Program in late March or in April.  SEED Scholarship and other financial aid notification will be sent to you separately, usually within a month, and will come directly to you from the UD Office of Scholarships and Financial Aid.
  5. To reserve your seat in the Associate in Arts Program and to activate your SEED scholarship, you must let us know that you intend to enroll by sending in the required $300 deposit by the deadline of May 1.  An envelope will be provided for this purpose in your admission package.
    • Even though your SEED Scholarship will cover your Associate in Arts tuition, there are other fees and expenses, such as books, that are not covered by SEED.  Your $300 deposit will go into your UD student account and can be used for these other expenses.
  6. Once we receive your deposit, your admission and your SEED Scholarship will be activated and we will send you information about new student orientation and other steps to finalize your enrollment.  If you don't send in your deposit, you will not receive this additional information and your admission and SEED Scholarship will be cancelled.
