Scholarship deadlines to open on Jan. 1
Scholarship Applications for 2024-2025 academic year open Jan. 1 to April 2, 2024.
Delta is offering more than 150 scholarships. Applications will be filtered based on requirements for eligibility.
“On Jan. 1, 2024, any student who plans to be enrolled in at least six units at Delta in the fall of 2024 may submit the general scholarship application online in the AwardSpring platform,” said Christy Lenzi, a scholarship specialist in the college’s Financial Aid & Scholarship Services department.
Applicants must include an academic reference to share performance history and a personal reference. Once provided, the AwardSpring platform will generate an email where references will be sent a link to complete their recommendations on behalf of the applicant.
On April 2, 2024, the application submissions will close, and the process for review will begin.
By June, applicants will be notified of their status and asked to sign agreements.
“Their award money will be posted to their student account the first week of fall 2024 semester. Awards over $500 will be split between fall 2024 and spring 2025 semesters. Scholarship money is applied first toward tuition/fees, and any remaining funds will disburse to the student’s BankMobile.”
Lenzi’s advice to students for the chance of a successful application is: “[…] to reach out before winter break to the Delta professor whom you wish to use as your academic reference.”
“Another thing you can do is think ahead about the required essay,” she stated. “Dream big—this is the place to talk about your WHY, your motivation, and your vision of your future for yourself—there is no wrong answer. And just continue the essay, thinking how you can best show the application review committee that the scholarship will be an investment in your future.”
