Benefit

This exchange program provides a chance at one of a limited number of scholarships which waive the fall and spring tuition for one dependent who is enrolled on a full-time basis (a minimum of 12 credit hours) in a degree-granting program at DTCC.

Limitations

The student must:

• meet dependent eligibility requirements;
• apply for, and receive admission to, a degree-granting program at DTCC;
• be registered full-time in that DTCC program before the mid-August drawing is conducted;
• complete the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA); and
• apply for, and be found ineligible for, a State of Delaware SEED grant. The Delaware SEED (Student Excellence Equals Degree) grants are provided by the State of Delaware and cover tuition for Delaware-resident students.

DTCC Application Process

Individuals who wish to participate in the lottery should submit the DTCC Lottery Application (see below) once announced in UDaily (mid-June). Human Resources will notify each participant regarding their standing, following the completion of the lottery drawing in mid-August.

PLEASE NOTE

• Submission of an application for DTCC Waiver Exchange does not guarantee an award. DTCC will notify your dependent directly if a DTCC scholarship is granted.
• The DTCC Tuition Waiver, if awarded, does count against the University of Delaware limit of two full-time tuition benefits per semester per family.
