For aspiring nurses who wish to study at participating higher education institutions in the State of Delaware. Under some conditions, the money is considered a scholarship; under other conditions, the money is considered a loan.

3. Workforce Training Grants.
This is an excellent program for eligible students who are interested in attending less than full-time.

The cost of college education should not keep you from reaching your goals. At Delaware Technical & Community College, we believe that quality higher education should be within the financial reach of every member of our community.

If you are eligible, a variety of sources can help you pay for college. Financial aid may be used for tuition, fees, books, transportation and an allowance for living costs. It can help make your dream of a college degree a reality.

Students are encouraged to apply for financial aid. You need to apply in order for the campus to determine your eligibility.

The College reserves the right to reduce scholarship awards because of outside scholarship resources received by the recipient. Students are encouraged to apply for financial aid.

Deadline: May 15 each year
