Financial Aid

The cost of a college education shouldn't keep you from reaching your goals. At Delaware Technical & Community College we believe that quality higher education should be within the financial reach of every member of our community. If you are eligible, a variety of sources can help you pay for college. Financial aid may be used for tuition, fees, books, transportation, child/dependant care and an allowance for living costs. It can help make your dream of a college degree a reality.
