You submit the paperwork, then we confirm the gift, and just like that, your support will go that much further in helping DelVal students!

When the COVID-19 pandemic forced us to rearrange our lives, some of us found ourselves struggling and in need of additional support. As a DelVal family, we were able to come together and offer that support through the Emergency Financial Aid Fund*.
As the University celebrates our 125th anniversary and looks forward to our next 125 years, we are asking current Aggies to help grow the Emergency Financial Aid Fund. Making a gift to The Advancing Future Aggies Student Emergency Aid Fund will help support students who encounter personal emergencies that could prevent them from continuing on the path toward graduation.
- Make a difference to a DelVal student like you – click here to make your gift to The Advancing Future Aggies Student Emergency Aid Fund!
- Seniors, donate some or all of your unused $150 Contingency Deposit, which you paid during your first semester at DelVal, by clicking here for the online designation form.
*The Emergency Financial Aid Fund provides a safety net for when unexpected circumstances – such as the death of a parent or guardian, a sudden job loss, or other situations – threaten to interrupt or even stop a student’s academic journey at DelVal. In response to the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic, the Emergency Financial Aid Fund has been a crucial source of assistance for numerous students. Your gift to The Advancing Future Aggies Student Emergency Aid Fund helps us replenish this fund to ensure that it is available for future students who need a hand!
We are here to help! If you or someone you know is currently experiencing a financial hardship that could prevent you from finishing your education at DelVal, please contact the Office of Financial Aid at finaid@delval.edu to learn more about your options.
