How to Maintain Eligibility

In order to continue to receive a SEED Scholarship after your first year in the Associate in Arts program, you must:

  • Submit a new FAFSA each year.  The recommended filing deadline is March 15.   
  • Be enrolled full-time in the Associate in Arts Program in Dover, Georgetown, or Wilmington, during the Fall and Spring semesters.
  • Have a cumulative grade point average of at least 2.5 at the end of the academic year.
  • Not be convicted of a felony.
  • Make continual progress toward the Associate in Arts Degree by earning a minimum of 24 credits between the start of Fall semester and the end of Second Summer session.
Students who wish to take a semester leave for medical or other reasons may request continuation of their eligibility for the SEED Scholarship by contacting the Office of Scholarships and Financial Aid.

Summer and Winter Session enrollment is optional – you need not enroll in Summer or Winter in order to maintain your SEED Scholarship eligibility, as long as you earn enough credits during the Fall and Spring.  SEED Scholarships are not available for UD Summer and Winter sessions.

SEED Scholarships will cover courses that fulfill requirements for the Associate in Arts Degree, up to a maximum of three years of attendance or 65 credits earned, whichever comes first.  Students who have successfully completed the Associate in Arts requirements are not allowed to remain overtime in the Associate in Arts program and will not continue to receive SEED funds after the Associate in Arts Degree requirements have been met.  SEED Scholarship eligibility expires with satisfaction of the Associate in Arts requirements.
