Keeping tuition low is crucial for our students to have access to the education they need to succeed. Many of our students are the first in their families to receive a college education. Our average student age is 28, and most work full- or part-time while attending college. Many must also juggle family responsibilities around completion of their course work. Our students are motivated and goal-oriented; Delaware Tech strives to keep higher education within their financial grasp by offering the lowest tuition in the state and providing numerous opportunities for financial aid. Not only do we compare favorably to our sister institutions in Delaware, but when compared to the other 42 community colleges in New Jersey, Pennsylvania and Maryland, Delaware Tech ranks lowest for total cost of attendance.
