Study abroad scholarships awarded

Delaware Valley University is pleased to announce the first students to receive Generation Study Abroad Scholarships. Six DelVal students were selected to receive $2,500 scholarships funded through a grant provided by the Generation Study Abroad Initiative and the University. The goal of the scholarships is to double the amount of U.S. students who go abroad while providing the opportunity to participate in study abroad programs to a more diverse group of students.
