Serving the First State鈥檚 Needs
Spending State Funds Responsibly
The State of Delaware鈥檚 annual appropriation supports about 11% of the University鈥檚 operating expenses. The appropriation is used to help provide lower undergraduate tuition rates for Delawarean students, as well as provide scholarships for Delawareans based on financial need. The University also uses funds from its endowment to augment this support. This results in an in-state undergraduate tuition rate that is more than 60% lower than the rate for non-residents; most Delawareans pay even less because of additional support.
The state appropriation is also used to support excellent programs for students, enable research projects that yield state-wide impact and support initiatives that engage and benefit the entire community.
