Annual Scholarship Program

Through the Annual Scholarship Program, Delta Community awards five $5,000 scholarships to students pursuing their first undergraduate degree. Scholarships may be used for tuition, books, housing or meal costs and are paid directly to the accredited U.S. college or technical school.

Recipients are selected based on academic achievement, community involvement and an essay submission. Financial need may also be considered.

We also have a special program for students attending historically Black colleges and universities (HBCUs). Learn about Delta Community's special HBCU Scholarship.
