Financial Aid
A limited number of DEL Merit-based Assistance awards are available to qualifying applicants. See below for more information. Financial aid is available through various student loan programs to U.S. citizens and permanent residents. Students requesting financial assistance must complete the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA). For more information, visit www.fafsa.ed.gov.

Private loans are also offered through various vendors. Citibank, Bank of America and Sallie Mae are national lenders that offer online applications and fairly fast approval information. It is the responsibility of the student to select a lender. Criteria to consider are: What are the fees associated with the loan? How is the interest rate calculated? What is the amount you are eligible to borrow?
