DWMC Scholarship Guidelines 2020
1. The Scholarship Award was established to assist people planning to continue their education at accredited institutions of higher education.
2. People who are permanent residents of the Delaware Academy School District are eligible to apply.
3. Extra-curricular and/or community service activities, application essays, academic record and financial need are among the areas considered in making the award. Academic transcripts and financial aid forms should NOT be submitted. Applications must be printed SINGLE-SIDED ONLY. Please title any addition pages (i.e. “Extra-Curricular Activities”), but DO NOT put your name or address on any page other than the first page. This is because the applications are evaluated blind without the committee knowing the applicant’s name.
