Delta State University is launching the Delta State Free Tuition Scholarship in Fall 2025 to cover 100% of tuition for Pell Grant-eligible, first-time freshmen, aiming to expand college access and reduce financial barriers for Mississippi families.
“We believe that a student’s financial situation should never be a barrier to earning a college degree,” said DSU President Dr. Daniel J. Ennis. “This scholarship reinforces our mission to empower students and invest in the future of our communities.”
The Free Tuition Scholarship ensures that all tuition costs are fully covered by combining a student’s federal Pell Grant with any other earned scholarships. If there is any remaining balance, Delta State covers it, eliminating out-of-pocket tuition costs for qualifying students. The scholarship is renewable for up to four years, or eight semesters, as long as the student remains Pell Grant-eligible and maintains academic progress toward a degree.
“With this program, we’re sending a clear message: If you want to go to college, let’s go,” Ennis said. “Delta State is all in on making higher education more accessible and affordable.”
