Delaware Higher Education Commission



Delaware does not have a separate state loan program for its students.

The Delaware Higher Education Commission contracted with American Education Services (AES) to be the federal loan guarantor for FFELP loans, but this program has ended.

Now all federal loans from the government are available through the Direct loan program. There are no special benefits for citizens of Delaware attached to these loans. .

What Delaware does do is offer Professional Incentive Programs. These are merit-based recruitment programs with loan repayment provisions. They are basically student loan forgiveness programs. These occupational areas are covered:

  • teaching
  • nursing
  • physicians
  • library and archives
  • optometry
  • speech and language pathology

School loans will be forgiven in exchange for working in your field in the state of Delaware.

The Seed Scholarship Program is the main scholarship program in Delaware.

  • The award is full-time tuition at the Delaware Technical & Community College or the Associate of Arts program at the University Of Delaware.
  • Requirements are that you be a Delaware high school student with a GPA of at least 2.5 and no felony convictions.

The Delaware State Inspire Scholarship has been approved for students graduating from Delaware high schools and attending Delaware State University.

  • The award is six semesters of tuition (same as the Seed Scholarship)
  • Requires that students maintain a GPA of at least 2.75.

Check your Delaware FAFSA deadline to make sure you file on time to be eligible for this program. Find other Delaware area college grants and scholarships you may qualify for, and if you have a tuition gap, check credit unions for a private loan lender- or use the form at the top, right of the page to compare rates from commercial lenders.
