Delaware Scholarships

3503 scholarships
$250,000 largest award
Nov 12, 2026 next deadline

Our catalog lists 3503 active awards in Delaware — scholarships, grants, fellowships, and other student funding. Awards range up to $250,000. Each listing links to the official application so you always apply through the real sponsor — never a paid middleman.

State and local awards are one of the best-kept secrets in financial aid: they draw a far smaller applicant pool than national programs, so your odds are higher. Beyond this list, check Delaware's higher-education agency, community foundations, and local chapters of civic groups (Rotary, Elks, Lions) — many publish awards that never appear on national databases.

Start a 14-day free trial to get a personalized fit score on every scholarship below, deadline reminders, and a checklist that keeps each application on track.

Frequently asked questions

How many scholarships are available in Delaware?

Our catalog currently lists 3503 scholarships open to Delaware students, and we add more as sponsors publish them.

Are Delaware scholarships easier to win than national ones?

Often, yes. State and local awards have smaller applicant pools, so a strong, tailored application stands out more than it would in a national competition.

Does Scholarship Wizard charge to apply?

No. You always apply directly on the sponsor's official page, and legitimate scholarships never charge an application fee. A Scholarship Wizard subscription pays for matching, essay help, and deadline tracking, never for the right to apply.
