The University has developed personal Individualized Development Plans (IDPs) for every incoming freshman. This grant will allow all students, especially low-income and first-generation students, to prosper fully while in attendance at DSU.  

Project Aspire has the primary goal of maintaining retention and graduation rates among Delaware students. This new grant will provide support to eligible full-time sophomores. The project support includes scholarships, mentors and group meetings, as well as early warning systems and academic tutoring funded by DSU.

This scholarship benefits adults entering DSU, either part-time or full-time, while pursuing their first bachelor’s degree after experiencing a gap in their education, or five years after graduating high school. Students can receive up to $5,000 toward the cost of tuition.

Over the next two years, in partnership with a $400,000 grant from the Verizon Innovative Learning Program, minority middle school boys will be given the opportunity to get hands-on experience in STEM education.

Thanks to a generous grant from Barclays, Mobile App Boot Camp participants, largely DSU undergraduates, will leave this program certified in Android mobile architecture and Java programming. These skills are highly sought after and profitable in today’s world.

Barclays has launched a new annual program with DSU, providing six students with a two-month internship in which they will work for Barclaycard US in its Credit Risk Organization for a two-month assignment.
