The Delaware Community Foundation opens applications for 70 scholarships with hundreds of thousands of dollars in assistance.
DCF President and CEO Stuart Comstock-Gay says the group has a wide variety of scholarship offerings for a wide variety of students.
“Some of the scholarships will be, say, for students from a particular high school or students going into a particular kind of program,” Comstock-Gay said. “So, there is a scholarship compendium that you can find online at delcf.org that describes all of them.”
Comstock-Gay says the scholarship offerings are a lasting part of DCF’s history.
“Delaware Community Foundation itself has been around not quite 40 years, and we’ve been giving out scholarships essentially since the very beginning,” Comstock-Gay said.
Last year was the organization’s biggest ever in terms of scholarship awards, with $652,000 going to 191 different students from around 400 applications.
Comstock-Gay urges students to apply early, and notes that applicants can often apply for multiple scholarships from a single form.
Completed applications must be submitted by March 15, 2025 to be considered.
