Affordability? Yes, a private higher education can be affordable. All accepted students' credentials are thoroughly reviewed by Admissions to determine scholarship eligibility. We tend to give more weight to a student's high school grade point average than the SAT score. Why? The high school GPA is a measure of success over a four-year period. This process, however, does not disregard the SATs which are also considered in determining scholarship eligibility.

Overall Delaware Valley College offered its student body over $15 million last year. We believe in recognizing your high school student achievement. The scholarships offered by DVC makes your decision to attend this private institution a wise one. Try our Scholarship Calculator. It will give you an excellent estimate of the level of scholarship available to you.
