Merit Scholarships

Unique Awards for UDHP students

Students who gain admission into the Honors Program are competitive for University merit scholarships. All students whose admission applications are complete by the date set by the Admissions Office each year are automatically reviewed for academic scholarships. Our most prestigious scholarships are our Distinguished Scholar Awards. The Distinguished Scholars include the Eugene duPont Scholars (who receive full scholarships), Alumni Scholars, Alison Scholars, 1743 Scholars, and Stark Scholars. See the Admissions Office page for more information about merit scholarships. Questions about merit scholarships should be directed to the Admissions Office (302-831-8123).
