Plastino Scholars Program

The Plastino Scholars Program was established in 2007 by a gift from UD alumnus David A. Plastino to help outstanding University of Delaware undergraduate students realize their dreams by supporting them in self-designed, off-campus learning experiences that create a difference in their lives and in the lives of others.​

Dean's Scholar Program

The Dean's Scholar Program exists to serve the needs of  extraordinary students by allowing them to design, in consultation with faculty advisors, imaginative and rigorous individual plans of study to meet the total credit hours required for graduation. It is expected that the course of study outlined by the Dean's Scholar candidate will represent a program that cannot be effectively achieved using other options already available within the University.

Legal Professional Preparatory Program 

The Legal Professional Preparatory Program (LP3) is designed to support students at the University of Delaware who wish to pursue a career in law.  LP3 prepares students for law school and careers in related fields by creating a network of resources built through the students and alumni of the University. 

Medical Scholars Program

The Medical Scholars Program is a unique early admissions dual-track premedical eight-year academic program sponsored by the University of Delaware in consort with the Sidney Kimmel Medical College at Thomas Jefferson University. It is designed for those unique students who are certain that they want to become physicians and who desire a program of academic study blending the scientific and cultural aspects of the various medical professions.
