Apply for the DSF Scholarship
The DSF Scholarship Application for the 2019-20 school year is now closed.
If you did not submit a DSF application by April 1, applications are no longer being accepted. Check back in early February 2020 for the 2020-21 DSF Application.
The deadline to update your final college selection for the 2019-20 academic year was July 15, 2019. The College Choice Form for the 2019-20 school year is now closed.
The college selected on your College Choice Form as of July 15 is the college where you will be considered for a scholarship award for the entire 2019-20 academic year. If you will not be attending the college DSF has on file, you will not be eligible for the DSF Scholarship for the upcoming academic year unless you meet the requirements for a Mid-Year Transfer.
DSF strives to process scholarship payments as soon as possible once we receive financial aid, enrollment, and Satisfactory Academic Progress (SAP) information from your college at the beginning of each term. Click here for details about the DSF payment process and timing.
