WHAT WE OFFER
For high-achieving, under-resourced, public high school students, DCS’ seven-year tuition-free program, including a three-year residential component, provides its scholars with a clear path to college graduation from competitive four-year universities.
Scholars prepare for college acceptance and success by participating in one of the most academically rigorous college-level curriculum in the state; spending three consecutive summers living with peers in a dorm-like setting before college begins; and receiving year-round personal counseling during their college years.
To date, 94% of Delaware College Scholars, who are often the first in their family to attend college, have gone on to four-year institutions of higher learning. 93% have persisted to or beyond their sophomore year.
