Is U Del known for giving any OOS need based aid or merit aid?
Thanks
If you complete the University of Delaware Net Price Calculator and enter your student’s GPA, Test Scores, and FAFSA EFC it will provide you with estimates for:
- Out-of-State Student Merit Scholarship
- Out-of-State Student Need Grant
I don’t think they provide a ton of tuition aid to OOS. My son is a sophomore there and he is in state, and there is a little bit of tuition merit aid, but it is nominal. However, both years they provided a grant to live on campus, that I suspect is not related to living in state, and his sophomore year it was significant, like 80% of the cost. Sorry, I can’t answer better, but I think there is some hope, especially for housing. Although, I do believe grants for housing are taxable.
Good luck.
My OOS daughter was offered $24,000 per year as a Distinguished Scholar. Her initial merit offer was 15K.
@burghdad can you explain what happened that got you from 15k " initial offer" and ultimately $24K? what was her stats? major? sounds like your D is at least a soph. there now? thanks
My daughter actually decided to go to Clemson instead. However I really liked Udel and am pushing D21 to go there.
Anyway D18 applied as an undecided major with 35ACT and 4.0UW and 4.4W GPA. In November of her senior year she was admitted to UDEL and honors college and given 15K OOS merit award.
She was then notified in February that she was one of 100 admitted students selected to attend something called the “Distinguished Scholars Weekend.” The students go to the school for a weekend and compete for additional scholarships with maybe 12-15 getting full rides. They have interviews with different administrators and faculty members etc. She did not get the full ride but was offered a 24K per year scholarship.
She really wanted the big time sport environment and the nicer weather so she went to Clemson (which is very similar to Udel in terms of size curriculum etc) where she got 15K per year merit money and honors college. I wasn’t going to make her go to her second choice over 9K per year. Now if she had gotten the full ride we would have had a different conversation.lol,
@burghdad thanks, very helpful
