Delaware College Scholars (DCS) was founded in 2014 as the first of its kind public/private partnership in the state, and Delaware’s only tuition-FREE college preparatory and persistence program for high-achieving public-school students from low-income families. Unlike any other, DCS is a 7-year program with a 3-year RESIDENTIAL component. Beginning the summer after 10th grade, accepted scholars receive both summer intensive and year-round support in the form of college-style classes via roundtable Socratic seminars, academic sessions focused on English and math mastery, college visits to over a dozen campuses, a dynamic student cohort model, one-on-one college advisement, and college workshops focused on topics like SAT prep and financial aid. Once in college, scholars benefit from regular and on-campus check-ins with DCS college persistence staff. This one-on-one relationship continues for the next 4-5 years through scholars’ successful college graduation. No other organization in Delaware provides this level of personalized scholar support for high-achieving students from families of low-income.
