Freshman applicants who are outstanding academically may be eligible
for academic scholarships awarded solely on the basis of merit without
regard to financial need. All freshman applicants whose applications
for Fall admission are complete by December 1st will be automatically
reviewed for academic scholarships. A complete application includes
Parts I and II of our application (or the Common Application, which
we will also gladly accept), an official high school transcript and
Secondary School Report, a letter of recommendation, and officially
reported SAT-I or ACT scores. Unless requested, you do not need to send
us additional information or a separate application.
Scholarship-quality athletes are generally identified by our coaches, who recruit on the basis of athletic skill. Athletic scholarships are available in the following varsity sports:
- Men's baseball, basketball, football, lacrosse, and soccer
- Women's basketball, field hockey, lacrosse, rowing, soccer, softball, swimming, tennis, track & field, and volleyball

scholarships by calling the Music department at (302) 831-8426 and
arranging an appointment for an audition. Music department scholarships
are generally reserved for music majors and non-majors who play instruments/sing
in vocal ranges needed to balance the ensembles. In addition, the Music
Merit Program provides private study opportunities for other qualified
students who wish to study applied music.
Additional scholarships exist at the University
of Delaware for the following applicants:
- Army or Air Force ROTC Participants (awarded to selected
students who are receiving a 3-year or 4-year ROTC scholarship)
- Entering freshmen in the College of Agriculture and
Natural Resources (approximately 15-20 awards per year)
- In addition, a few awards are specific to entering freshmen
in particular majors and programs. Students are automatically reviewed
for these scholarships, as well as for university-wide scholarships,
when they are reviewed for admission
Universities typically distinguish between aid based on demonstrated financial need and aid based solely
on academic ability or special talents without regard to financial need. Aid based on financial need,
as demonstrated by the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) that the student files, is "need-based aid."
To apply for need-based aid, file the Free
Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) as soon as possible after
January 1. Use the institutional code for the University of Delaware:
001431. We strongly recommend filing the FAFSA by February
1, especially for students who want an early notification of the financial
aid award. A new FAFSA must be filed for each subsequent year.
Please note that Federal and University financial assistance is available
only to U.S. citizens and Permanent Residents.
The following Scholarships apply to students who
meet a specified criteria and complete an application by each individual
scholarship's deadline.
