UD's Lerner College is offering several scholarships for Fall 2025 to support students based on their connection to UD, including current undergraduate students and alumni. These scholarships provide tuition relief and streamlined access to Lerner’s nationally recognized graduate programs, including the MBA, specialized master’s degrees and graduate certificates.

“These scholarships reflect our commitment to meeting students where they are,” said Lerner College Dean Oliver Yao. “Whether you’re a recent UD graduate, a current student looking ahead, or a professional navigating change, Lerner wants to be part of your journey forward.”

The UD Alumni Support Scholarship is available to Blue Hens returning to UD to continue their education. UD alumni applying to any Lerner graduate program for Fall 2025 receive a 20% tuition scholarship and a waived application fee.

The UD Student Support Scholarship is designed for current juniors, seniors and 2025 graduates of UD. Students enrolling in Lerner graduate programs, whether through 4+1 accelerated pathways or traditional master’s options, are eligible for a 20% tuition scholarship and waived application fee.

Apply by August 1 for Fall 2025 enrollment. Only one 20% graduate scholarship may be applied per qualifying student. These scholarships cannot be combined with other UD Lerner funding offers, including merit-based awards or assistantships.
