The Plastino Scholars Program was established in 2007 by a gift from University of Delaware alumnus David A. Plastino. The program awards study grants up to $6,000 to selected undergraduate students at UD who exhibit extraordinary talent, promise and imagination. The grants support self-designed, off-campus learning experiences that make a transformational difference in the lives of Plastino Scholars and enable them to pursue a passionate interest to a degree not otherwise possible.

The amount of each award will depend on the nature of the experience proposed. Any undergraduate student at UD may apply, provided that at the time of application, he or she is enrolled for at least 12 semester hours and has not completed more than five semesters.

To find out more, attend one of two Plastino Scholars interest meetings. The first is at 5 p.m. on Tuesday, Sept. 20, in room 102 of Gore Hall. The second is at 7 p.m. on Thursday, Oct. 6, in room 104 of Gore Hall.

Applications are due by Friday, Dec. 9, 2022. Further information and application materials are available at https://www.cas.udel.edu/plastino-scholars.
