Areas of Support

Delaware Technical Community College plays a vital role in the state of Delaware. Being the only community college in the state, we single-handedly influence the daily operation of the state. Our students come from all walks of life to enroll in our programs and the majority stay right here in Delaware to improve the cities and communities that they live and work in.

Since approximately 42% of our budget is supplied by the state primarily for personnel costs and state financial aid, the College relies on gifts from the community to provide an affordable, first rate educational experience. The Delaware Tech Educational Foundation was established to help encourage private support for our students and their financial and educational needs.

Donor lunch recap: hear from alumni and sponsors about their Delaware Tech experiences.

Scholarships

In 2016, the Delaware Tech Educational Foundation provided scholarship support of more than $754,000 to 1,343. Many businesses, community and civic organizations, families, individuals, alumni, parents and friends have demonstrated their interest in supporting student scholarships. Without the incredible support of the community many of these 1,343 students would not have been able to continue their studies and better their lives through education.


Capital Projects and Equipment

Being a technical school, most of the training and education that students receive is completed with equipment. Delaware Tech has ongoing needs for equipment (both new and used) so that students can be adequately trained. Additionally, each Delaware Tech campus has building and expansion projects that they'd like to see come to fruition to better meet the needs of the communities that it serves.


Academic Programs

Delaware Tech's academic programs are a reflection of the current job market within the State of Delaware. Delaware Tech actively seeks input from local businesses and communities to find out what jobs are in demand or what companies will need 2-5 years down the line. There are over 100 different programs for students to choose at Delaware Tech. The major areas of study at Delaware Tech are Business, Education, Engineering Technologies, Entrepreneurship, Health & Science and Industrial & Public Service.


Workforce Development and Community Education

Delaware Tech successfully provides continuing education courses, job skills training certificate programs, classes, workshops, seminars and various conferences through its Workforce Development and Community Education division. Courses are taught under the realm of Personal Development as well as Business and Professional Development. Students are faced with privately financing these courses to advance their careers and many are not able to complete these programs because of the Federal Government's limitation on applying financial aid toward Workforce Development and Community Education courses. Support for these students is critical as it helps them change their lives through education.


Athletics

Delaware Tech students have the opportunity to participate in athletic programs at the various campuses to compete in the National Junior College Athletic Association. Students in Georgetown compete in Baseball, Softball and Golf. Students at Dover compete in Men's Lacrosse, Women's Volleyball and co-ed Cross Country. Students at the Stanton and Wilmington locations compete in Men's and Women's Basketball, and co-ed Cross Country. These students receive very little, if any, financial aid and are in need of support for facility improvements, equipment and uniforms, travel costs and other expenses associated with participating in athletics at a collegiate level.


International Education

Delaware Tech's International Education Program offers students the unique opportunity to learn through hands-on cultural experiences by participating in study abroad courses and on-campus events. The program provides students the opportunity to develop a global skill set in order to successfully work with diverse groups and compete in today's workforce. Since 2005, scholarships have enabled over 500 students to participate in study abroad courses developed and led by Delaware Tech faculty. Study abroad students report that participation in this program was a positive turning point in their lives and it helped them better understand both themselves and their career choices. Funding for International Education also supports the on-campus Global Understanding Series, which serves over 1,700 attendees annually, bringing notable cross-cultural speakers and performances to the Delaware Tech stage. This series is free and open to the local community.


Youth Camp Scholarships

At Delaware Tech, we recognize that the seeds for a successful college experience are planted well before high school. Our summer camps, which serve children from age five to 17, provide safe, challenging, enriching and fun experiences at each of our four campus locations. Many disadvantaged youth could benefit from our camps if scholarship money was available. Currently, we receive little government and private support to run these programs.


Library Support

Delaware Tech libraries are an integral part of the College's instructional programs. Our librarians emphasize investigative and information management skills which support students' ongoing needs for life-long learning in their professional and personal lives. The libraries require a collection of traditional and electronic resources to support the ever-changing curriculum and to respond to the educational needs, abilities and interests of a diverse student body. The expense of online data bases and other technologically advanced resources continues to grow; however, they are vital to support our students' need for access to learning materials when and where it fits their busy schedules.


Student Success

Our students come from all walks of life to enroll in our programs, and the majority stay right here in Delaware to improve the cities and communities that they live and work in. The Delaware Technical Community College Educational Foundation is dedicated to the success of our students. We need your help to address their many needs.

Education is the key to a better life for our students and their families. Scholarships make it possible for many of our students to attend college. Whether they are studying to be a nurse, enrolled in a workforce training program, or exploring another country through our International Education program, scholarships open the door to education. Even our youngest students can receive a scholarship to attend our campus daycare or summer camps.

Your donations also help to fund Student Success Initiatives like tutoring, emergency assistance, library services, and learning communities. These programs help students stay in school even when they struggle with coursework or life circumstances. Your support makes these programs possible.

Explore the many ways your donations make a big difference in the lives of our students.
