Travel Scholarships for Students

The Foundation Office has funding available to support student travel opportunities. Some funds are to be applied for individually, by the student. Other dollars may be allocated for group travel and can be requested by a faculty or staff member.

Possible funding for student travel – domestic

The Delta College Foundation supports the educational pursuits of many students by providing travel dollars that have been contributed by generous donors. Awards must support academic credit experiences achieved through a broad range of activities, including various workshops, conferences, sessions, courses, travel, etc. These activities may be offered as a separate class or independent study for credit, or they may be trips planned as part of regular class activities.

A faculty member may submit a form to the Foundation requesting assistance with a trip they are planning.  It may be that they funding is needed for the overall group or that you would like to recommend a single student for support, after learning of their inability to pay on their own.  Either way, we cannot pay all of the costs associated with travel, but can help when it is appropriate.  The two different types of forms are included below. 

To begin, submit a group travel scholarship request form or an individual travel scholarship request form.

Possible funding for student travel - international

Typically, the Delta College Foundation accepts student applications in the fall, for students who are hoping to study internationally in the following spring or summer semester.  Studying abroad can give you a rewarding life-changing experience. We can help with a portion of the costs, thanks to generous donors who have contributed dollars.  The scholarships are intended for a broad range of activities leading to better knowledge of foreign languages and of their people, their countries, and their cultures.

There is an extensive amount of time and research that students must invest in order to ensure that they will have a good plan in place to travel abroad. We encourage you to begin early and ask for help if you find that you have questions. 

These scholarships must be used while attending Delta College. High school students who will be dual enrolled during the scholarship award year are not eligible. If you transfer to another college or university, the scholarship dollars will not transfer with you. 

Information on whether the international travel scholarship process is open can be found on the Delta College Foundation website.  If the process is open, students will find a link to the online application contained on the page.
